Does it really matter though? I mean, whether it's a closing bracket or a whitespace demarcated control flow - does it really effect anything you do in the language? Julia solves a lot of problems, like real problems - quibbling over begin/end vs {/} or white space seems kinda silly.

Meanwhile I have actually seen real world lost productivity due to white space in python. Curly brackets not so much. Never seen lost productivity over begin/end but I'm sure it's happened. It seems silly to me either way - it doesn't really effect anything.

I think that's inherited from matlab.

Huh okay. I’ve never used Matlab but one of the first languages I played with was a basic for simple game development

begin is a Julia keyword though it.

But yes end closes begin, for, function and while.

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m talking about
