Exactly! I guess people used to the Ruby syntax are just desensitized or don't know how much of a joy programming can be without having to type 'end' everywhere

- exDM69 10y agoThe end keywords is just a minor detail and can be inserted by a smart editor anyway. Things like list comprehensions and do notation are examples of nice syntactic sugar. Sensitive whitespace like Python can be nice to write and read, but it's hard(er) to write a parser for it and that's why Python's tooling hasn't been great in the past. That said, Ruby is even harder to parse and I don't like it aesthetically either.
- bdcravens 10y agoI think the same could be said about the joy of not having to have perfect whitespace.
