Yeah indentation in Python can be problematic - I've run into problems from time to time.
The issue with Ruby specifically (which doesn't exist in other common languages that have bracket- or keyword-delimited blocks) is that non-keywords can start blocks. So it's difficult for an editor to determine the likely matches, and it's even harder for a human. That's my vague recollection of the problem that I ran into numerous times, though it was about a decade ago.
