Im a newbie programmer who is trying to learn Ruby after having just learned the basics of Python. Being used to Python I very much like having paranthesises when I code because for me it is easier to read and I also think it looks more structured. I know that Ruby encourages you to not use paranthesises in most cases, but my question is: are there any downsides to using paranthesises? I dont know much about programming and I would very much like to know if there is a problem with me using paranthesises pretty much everywhere in Ruby. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
