Ok, thanks.

I agree about { } being mostly noise but I think they are the lesser evil. I'm making most of my money with Python and I still believe significant whitespace is a very bad idea. The Ruby alternative of using end is better even if not super elegant (and Ruby is my language of choice). It's on par with curly braces. After 30+ years of programming I still have to find a satisfying solution to the problem.
