wrong. Ruby forces end end end end
admittedly end delimmiters look bad in the imperative style of programming, but the imperative style is not idiomatic in Ruby, the modern functional style is (hint: foreach instead of for loops). If you program in this style in Python you will find the code turns into an untraceable mess as using indentation fo r block scope does not have much meaning when you are just mapping functions. Its kind of silly to see all the C++ programmers gush over all the functional features added to C..."oh boy, we have lambdas and foreach now!!". But that kind of programming is silly in C++ and is achieved with a lot of fragile hacks.

If you just listened to your CS instructors in class instead of jerking off, you'd understand and appreciate tuples.
tubles have their place is statically compiled languages, not dynamic ones
