That was mostly meant as a joke, thus the “;-)”

I don’t really care much about syntax choices, but my small complaint about “end” is that it takes up a line which reduces the amount of business-logic code I can fit on one screen, especially if you ever get into lots of nested loops and conditionals.

Fair, but, if I break up all the loops and if statements into functions, those functions still have “end”s
