Teaching and learning are spaces where many flowers can bloom, so I can appreciate the angle of this article (and thus Pyret).
To zoom in for a second: in my experience teaching, the simplicity of the outdent as a mechanism for ending a control structure is a light-bulb moment for many people. I don't think that adding "end" is helpful for this segment of the population.
And so it is with `where`, which seems to shoehorn a BDD / Rspec'ish approach which, while typical of some of the best Ruby out there, is not typical of a Python library.
Again, this approach may be great for some people, but I'll bet that it won't be great for others.
