'''Curly brace''' or '''bracket''' [[programming language]]s are those which use [[balance]]d [[bracket]]s ('''{''' and '''}'''), also known as "squiggly brackets", "brace brackets" or simply "braces" or "curly joes") to make [[block (programming)|block]]s in their [[syntax]] or [[formal grammar]], mainly due to being [[C (programming language)|C]]-influenced. The main alternate style is the use of paired keywords, although some languages (notably [[Python (programming language)|Python]] and [[Occam (programming language)|Occam]]) instead use an [[Off-side rule|off-side]] style, and [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]] uses parentheses.
