It’s crazy that we have totally opposite views here.

I find code block which are delineated by brackets so much more readable than ones delineated by invisible characters. Especially at a glance

I don’t love do..end either, but still prefer them to arguing with Python about the level of indenting not being correct or that spaces were used somewhere somehow.

> this can be easily attained in most languages with universal code formatting rules and intelligent code editors that highlight different elements to improve readability.

Ofc, none of this is a practical issue, but that’s what makes it a fun topic of discussion ;)
