More Ruby people probably will find "endless" less "aesthetic".
(Is this really a proper english word? It's really un-aesthetic.)

Even bad "aesthetics" will spoil efficiency and therefore wasting 
resources - that's the point where it wastes money - or, at least, life-time 
of developers which should better play with their children than with 
whitespaces, tabs or linefeeds.
