My thought on improving Ruby construct end syntax.

gistfile1.rb

# I have now programmed in a lot of languages, and one thing I can say for sure 
#   is that shell scripting does construct end styles very well.

#
# Example from http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5054
#
# This is indeed also one of my few personal issues with Ruby syntax, the end trail.
#
module MyModule
  class MyClass
    def my_method
      10.times do
        if rand < 0.5 
          p :small
        end 
      end 
    end 
  end 
end

# For longer codebases, this lets you more clearly know where you stand and
#   what is being ended.
module MyModule
  class MyClass
    def my_method
      10.times do
        if rand < 0.5
          p :small
        fi
      od
    fed
  ssalc
eludom

# And allow for shortened forms,
module MyModule
  class MyClass
    def my_method
      10.times do
        if rand < 0.5
          p :small
        fi
      od
    ed #'end def'
  ec # 'end class'
em # 'end module'

# es => 'end case'

#
# I *am* ok with this also :)
# 
module MyModule
  class MyClass
    def my_method
      10.times do
        if rand < 0.5
          p :small


# Suggested by @elliottcable:
module MyModule {
  class MyClass {
    def my_method {
      10.times { # This one already works ;)
        if rand < 0.5 {
          p :small
        } 
      } 
    } 
  } 
}

# Ruby lispyfied, I like it ;)
module FooModule {
    module BarModule {
        class Foo {
            def foo_method {
              10.times {
                if rand < 0.5 {
                    p :small }}}
              def baz_method {
                10.times {
                  if rand < 0.5 {
                      p :small }}}}
        class Bar {
            def bar_method {
              10.times {
                if rand < 0.5 {
                    p :small }}}
              def bazz_method {
                10.times {
                  if rand < 0.5 {
                      p :small }}}}}}
