Humans have to parse the syntax as well...
- PeCaN 11y agoNearly all the syntax ambiguities I've had in Ruby were resolved by either adjusting some whitespace or adding parens, and neither make the code any more difficult to read. In my experience Ruby is easy enough for humans to parse (really nice in 95% of cases, weird in 4%, WTF IS HAPPENING in 1%).
- rubyfan 11y agoThat's not really the context for the reference. Also beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The Crystal authors aren't really debating the goodness of Ruby syntax... That they think it's good is kind of the precondition to Crystal existing.
