[Chicago-talk] Chicago-talk Digest, Vol 81, Issue 11

[Brad Doty]

hehe, I think Steven was taking a jab at the irrational style of braces
sub foo {
	code here
}  # rational ending brace
   }  # worse yet, ala emacs

which was published in 1990s C++ text books and is enforced by emacs.
Unfortunately that caught on with younger programmers and now you need
the colored-syntax editors just to see at a glance where your stinking
blocks start and end.  I'll refrain from using the word "stupid" again
after last week's rant.  Perhaps that is a plot by emacs to force you to
use something besides vanilla vi.

Maybe it just wants you to use intelligent braces:

    sub foo
    { ## no critic

    }
