Mostly, it boils down to the fact that "whitespace" is ambiguous, braces are not. Then there are just times that for whatever reason, I want to format parts of my code a particular way that isn't possible with significant whitespace.

No reason to downvote this. This isn't Java bashing, it's computer industry bashing. Many ideas that are showing up in recent industry darlings (think C# and Scala) are actually decades old.

Why is Erlang much better at concurrency than Go? Their models while they have some differences are largely equivalent. As for haskell, its issues (and advantages) put it in a category of its own.

That is fine, and a respectable opinion to take (even if Erlang's syntax is pretty crazy that doesn't make it bad or wrong), but that doesn't make it '*much better than Go*', just different, just like its concurrency model is also somewhat different (but once again, pretty much equivalent).

How many programmers and engineers at NeXT/Apple/Pixar have died over the years? All of them helped make it all possible. But Steve Jobs gets all the credit. I guess it's the way it has to be. Amazingly, Doug Engelbart is still alive, though. I guess he's the one who should *really* get credit for Steve Jobs' career.

ruby does something in that vein, although I'm not sure if it does exactly that or something that simple. but it looks at what's at the end of the line to decide if the statement is over or is continued on the next line, using rules i do not know the specifics of.

That does not strike me as being correct. Steve Jobs kept his private life as private as possible despite significant public interest. Since Dennis Ritchie's work did not touch the public, he was mostly unknown to the public and therefore there was little interest in his private life.
