There's nothing Ruby-esque about leaving off the parens, except when
they're empty, at which point there is :-)  Nor is do/end more
Ruby-esque than {}.

I specialize in nice-looking, short-but-readable code that runs really
slowly :-)  (I didn't benchmark the two versions but if mine's slower,
it wouldn't be the first time.)
