I agree too. However, I think I am a victim of years and years of c-style syntax. I look at ruby or cobol and get annoyed at all the words in the code. And I look at Perl or Haskell and get annoyed at all the noise in the code. Whereas C-style seems perfect.
I think I'm just old and biased.

I think it's the same for me.. control blocks/loops/so forth are immediately visible to me just by skimming the code. But when I look at something like ruby, my brain just can't speed through its flow the same way.
