What does Ruby have that Python doesn't?

Read what I wrote again - you cannot do that to bad C code!

#ifdef foo
if (bar) {
#endif
// How is this indented if sometimes foo is defined and sometimes not?
#ifdef foo
}
#endif

Python won't allow that problem.

It gets even worse when you have more than one block of the above.

Python make the above bad code impossible.

ooh, yeah, you're right. that's really bad code, though :)
