I've done a little bit of Ruby (writing/maintaining some rakefiles). This 
sort of thing seems like a neat idea, but in practice I found it to be 
error-prone (ambiguities) and made it a lot harder to visually parse code. I 
constantly found myself having to "imagine" the omitted syntax, which just 
made the whole feature a wash.
