Its true, I'm more used to C like syntax, but I have no issues with Lisp, Python or MLs. I think Ruby reminds me of Basic, and I similarly just can't enjoy myself when using Basic syntax. I understand a lot of people enjoy it, not trying to blame it, its me I'm sure, not Ruby. That said, I've seen a few languages like Elixir and Crystal come up and they use "Ruby like syntax" as a selling point. So I'm trying to understand, what does everyone who likes the syntax find so great about it?
