Python Party in Ruby
Last month, a lengthy discussion kicked off on Ruby-Talk called “[Why not adopt Python style indentation for Ruby?](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi- bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/252034)” .. it wasn’t anything particularly new, because [a similar discussion](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi- bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/11876) occurred six years ago. Nevertheless, a coder called Jinjing has been inspired to create Lazibi, a Ruby pre-processor to allow one to use Python style indentation within Ruby code.

Hang on for dear life men! Seriously though. I'm particularly fond of the gnome interface. Xjjk and I were talking about KDE and as you know he's a kde-zealot. So as I was explaining all the features I liked about gnome, he's telling me how 'You can tell KDE to do that!'. So finally I say 'Ok, I can spend 5 or 6 hours getting KDE to look and act like gnome, or I could just install gnome'. So yeah, at what point do you realize that you're just cloning an existing project? Why must we be cursed to reinvent the wheel every time?
