Sonic Pi looks nice. But as with Elixir, which I for most parts love, I really hate the `do end` syntax and I've never understood why someone would design something where you would have to type those words instead of using on pinky to press `shift` and another pinky to press either `{` or `}`.
`{ }` is just so instantly recognizable as a scope.

- samaaron 16d agoHere's DJ Dave using Sonic Pi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2s1DK1w3WI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2s1DK1w3WI Also, Sonic Pi was designed for teaching - the language priorities for professional programmers that touch-type are quite different to those for a learner. Lots of strict and unusual syntax can be a considerable and confusing barrier. Also, Sonic Pi is implemented in Ruby, so you can totally use `{ }` just fine if that's your preference :-)
