The guys old enough to have punched cards - call me a member of this
group - will probably prefer to not write the opening brace on that
same line but open a new line for it, as in
 
    if (flag)
    {
        doThis();
        orThat();
    }

But back then, were there any languages outside of academia
that used braces and was used in the commercial world (on
punch cards) ?

I knew of none, but my Punch Card days only lasted a couple
of months (I had a job doing FORTRAN on punch cards).

FWIW, the only languages I knew in the commercial world that
where being used back then was COBOL, FORTRAN and Assembly.
