Sheesh, talk about strawmen. In Lisp, the parens are anything _but_
redundant. Lisp without brackets is riddled with ambiguity.
Conventionally-indented Ruby is not.

Yes, I was so unaware of this in my original post that I very
specifically made a proposal that would leave existing syntax
unchanged, which would allow people who wanted to use 'end' to
continue to use 'end', and which would break no existing code. My
proposal involved purely optional syntax, reflecting the fact that
many Rubyists are not convinced that syntactic indentation is the way
to go.

While one size certainly doesn't fit all, and while there's no
accounting for taste, some sizes seem to fit most people better than
others. Charles said that he preferred chocolate ice cream to Python.
Well, I don't know about that, but I'm betting he also prefers
chocolate ice cream to, say, mud... at least for eating. And I daresay
most people would prefer chocolate ice cream to mud for mud. But one
size doesn't fit all, and in a world of seven billion you can probably
find a handful of people whose preferences go the other way. So while
it may not be strictly accurate to say that chocolate ice cream is
"better" for eating than mud, it's close enough for most purposes. And
there's nothing wrong with approaching people who are chowing down on
mud because they've never _tried_ chocolate ice cream, handing them a
big ol' bowl of the good stuff, and saying, "Here, try this, you'll
probably like it better." Nor is there anything wrong with thinking
there's something a bit odd about those who, having tried both, prefer
the mud. Nor is there anything wrong with rolling your eyes at people
who say, "I tried half a teaspoon of your 'iced cream', and I like the
mud better."

I think I've just about stretched this analogy to the breaking point,
but I predict that if my proposal is implemented, and people are given
the choice to use syntactic indentation, within a couple of years
it'll be the norm, and most Ruby programmers will think it a bit weird
that anyone fought against it.
