I guess I should have known better than to post this on a site written in Ruby. :)
I know that Ruby is a good language, but I look at words where braces should be, and I can't help but think of Visual Basic.
Postfix is where it's at:
go while next_light.green?
... but i only mena that tehre exists at least one good language that does. that doesn't mean that every good language does, or that a good language must in order to be a good language.
False dichotomy.
Using braces extensively is yucky.
So is delimiting with words.
