Also, if we remove closing markup, the only way to understand if a markup is closed woud be by checking if a new markup is open. That doesn`t seem efficient.

I guess pug's whitespace sensitivity permits a way to quickly tell if a tag is closed.

I'm a fan of higher expressiveness/minimalism, so perhaps I'm just biased in my preference, but I also appreciate how it removes the need to know/care about the inconsistent closing tag semantics of html.
