free form languages are ones where the position of characters is not significant. Unlike old punch cards, it doesn't matter where on the line you place program text.

Python is a mix, as indentation is used to delimit program blocks.

Other free form languages are Java, Perl, C. In fact most of the common programming languages today are free form.
