I can't stand with the idea of using other chars than braces {} for a block,
I think it's particular to ruby to write:
names.each { |name| puts name }
I think do...end is a little long for a small block like this.

"My first thought to use brace "{...}" to replace "END" since it's a

Well, if you take the braces, you will have to put one just after the
condition(if, else, ...)
and "{" is often useless I think. If you indent your code, where will you
write the "{" ? after the "if" on the same line ?  on a new line ?
That's why I like the "end", one end for everything, and only one place if
you indent.

And the syntax "do(sth) if condition" is fast and logical to write.But I
think we should not use this for long lines for readability reasons.

Benoit
