He he. I think Ruby's OK really - like most of them, you just have to figure out a formatting that you like. Python is fine capability wise, not really much different than Ruby; but I really don't like syntaxes that use significant whitespace. It always looks to me like someone did a bad cut & paste job because there are no closing braces/ends, and my usual habit in most other languages is to make temporary debug code stand out more by formatting it hard-left, because not much else goes there in a normally indented class/method body. I also get a bit annoyed with having to type "self" all over the place!
Could be worse, though. C++ has tacked on so much stuff over the years and got desperate for unambiguous token combinations that if you use all the new stuff, it just gets ridiculous.
