Autogenerated code is very easy in Julia — there is no string processing at all. You can splice things directly into quoted code (working at the literal syntax level) or manually modify the `Expr` representation in a lispy manner (in which case there aren't any `end`s at all). Code generation is _really_ easy, thanks to its lispy inspiration.

Block delineation in Julia doesn't require the newline. You can just throw a ` end` at the end of the line. Often you'll see folks put the `;` line delimiter there, too, to make things super-clear (as that's generally how you delineate multiple expressions on the same line), but it's not required for an `end`.

And while it is indeed a little sad that you can't use `end` as a variable name, we make the most of it by using it to also represent the last index in an indexing expression like `A[end]`.

So, yeah, not a big deal at all, but very few of your detractions even apply in the first place. :)
