Agreed

There is no reason to not require parenthesis. No reason.

This is what I hate about Ruby, not having parenthesis gets a bit confusing and adds a couple of gotchas

Print statement is no more. It is gone. It went to meet its maker. Forget about it

Doing away with parenthesis is not syntactic sugar, it's the watermelon seeds that get in the way

Method call without parenthesis is very useful for making DSL.
