Subject: Re: Indentation vs. "end"s

I'm pretty much a newbie programmer so my opinion shouldn't count much
but before I chose Ruby as the definite language I tried writing in as
many other languages as I could, including Python.

I understand the importance of indentation, but forcing it on me was
really painful. I honestly wanted to stab someone every time I got an
error (ruby give me an error too when I missed an end, but it's somehow
different). There is something incredibly soothing about writing
freeform and freestyle code in Ruby which I don't get in Python.

What I'm afraid of now is going to college next year and having to deal
with "stricter" languages.

Good Luck!

PS: Yes, I know writing code cowboy style is bad, but hey, I'm a
newbie. ;)
