wow readability is about API design like requests vs urllib2: https://gist.github.com/973705

except when APIs get 100x bigger, API design becomes 100x more important. and using a language ecosystem that encourages good API design, over a language that is cobbled together and has no particular opinions about what good API design looks like[1] (or, even, bad opinions[2]), so that less experienced developers end up with decent output, is that much more important than concerns like parens, commas and braces. curly braces never made a project fail. shitty API design does.

[1] javascript! [2] java!

sheesh. there are bad things about coffeescript, but this stuff hardly matters.
