Comparing Ruby's syntax to RPG's latest freeform is a harder (unfair?)

What if I compared it to BASIC? It reminds me a lot of that. That's
not a bad thing either.

As far as free form D specs.. I don't like em either. But, just like
they used to say in the 19th century... if ya don't like hot water,
don't buy a hot water heater.

In other words, I won't use free form D specs because I don't have to.
