Parenthesis makes very clear what context you are in.
- lucb1e 6y agoCan't say that I hate it, exactly, but it does make it significantly harder to get into Ruby code when you're not exposed to it daily. Can an amateur woodworker complain their tools are too hard to use if others have no trouble with it and are more productive than with the alternative? Maybe? So rather than saying that I don't like it, I think what I'd like is some (semi-)objective way of figuring out whether the advantages are worth it. I'm inclined to say it's not worth it, but I don't know.
