Not A Discord of Code Blocks

curly-bracket syntax is THE DEVIL and I HATE IT

although I'm sure I'm not the only one here who's wasted half an hour trying to fix an entire program not working because of a single misplaced }

for me, it's the opposite (i hate required indentation (like python))

I have to agree

everyone who told me about Python tried to sell me on the required indentation like it's an exciting innovation even though it was something that I did not want or need

I don't mind either

Instead it's those begin ... end-like blocks that Pascal made famous that I hate

that's horrifying

ah yes I love my code to look like if condition then do_this() end

if ... {...} (parentheses optional)

if (...) {...}

{#if ...} ... {/if}

if ... ... end

if ... then ... end

if ...
  ...

if ... ... fi

oh yeah if ... ... fi is the worst one

probably why I changed my shell to fish
