It's interesting that Ruby doesn't force you to use semicolons all  
over the
place like C or Java.  You only use them were they are actually  
necessary
disambiguate something.  Ruby also doesn't force you to use  
parentheses for
function definitions or function calls.  Again, you only need them when
something is ambiguous.  Ruby accomplishes these tricks by using  
significant
whitespace.  Optional 'end' seems very consistent with this philosophy.
