    As far as I know, if you need to use brackets inside of brackets for whatever reason, you use something like this :
    [ {} ]
    Edit : ^ I can't say a source on this, I was taught this in school, and it's been years since elementary, so there's that.

    Also, I call them squiggle brackets, but they're called braces too.

    And now you know. :)

    "Curly braces": A compromise between the "curly bracket" legion and the "braces" brigades, but commonly thought of as a conspiracy to marginalize the squiggly line loyalists. :p
    I remember more or less the same.
    But this writer was using them side by side, i.e. [ ( ) { } ]. Furthermore he did it consistently for similar formulas, twice on page 2 and again on page 4, and even in page 2 there's an example of ordinary nested parentheses. I thought it had some obscure mathematical meaning because I know that the curlies (!) are used for set notation, and I was ****ting myself trying to imagine what sets had to do with multiplication.

    Also, I swear I heard someone refer to parentheses as 'curvy brackets'. That kind of horror sticks with you.

    The latter sounds good to me!

    He was joking. He's actually done some simple JS. :)
