Looks like the pretty formatting is poplular. All the people that complain of Python layout should be jealous of this one: https://www.ioccc.org/2020/yang/prog.c
Quite often there is something that "has not been seen before" - those entries do have a greater chance of being picked. The Ig-Nobels are seen as anti-Nobels. It is somewhat ironic that one of the few programming accolades you can be awarded is for writing code that will win an IOCCC award.
Of python: I am quite biased against the language - there are limited ways to speak or communicate it to a blind or deaf person. Python relies on the physical layout and structure to be semantically correct. (Python correctness does not survive whitespace or silence removal - which requires both working eyes and ears)
A Python screen reader would not have the same power. It would somehow have to communicate the significant whitespace to the user through sound. You cannot "remove the silence" when listening to a Python program, in the same way that you cannot strip out whitespace without changing the behaviour of the program.
However, I don't know if there are any screen readers that have been taught to do that.
If you are visually impaired you may have to use a screen reader. If that screen reader cannot correctly 'say' the whitespace, it may be difficult to understand languages such as Python where indentation is significant.
