Indentation Style: Notable Styles (opens in new tab)

Agreed 100%! I haven't written in go yet but whenever there are brackets I like for them to be vertically aligned with each other like Allman (even in Python!).

Agreeing with sibling comment too that K&R can be ok.. seems like K&R function declarations have Allman-like vertically-aligned brackets, but why not make that consistent for blocks inside the function too? 1TBS goes in the opposite direction, so not heaps of a fan of that.

I am a big fan of whitespace in code though, running afoul of various style-guides at times (like PEP8) because of the desire to put space between things to make things clearer.

I reckon code is already a very-condensed form of information, so it can help to make it easier to distinguish the meaningfully-different pieces by having some space around them. I know this is not everyone's jam, but that's what I like when reading code.

Why? The keywords that indicate brace opening are right there, and adding a whole line with almost no information gain seems a bit unnecessary.

Second that. I can tolerate K&R, but the others are blasphemy.

Allman is almost perfect.

If only it had begin and end instead of the ugly braces we'd be in a wonderful world.

Same, but for GNU. I can't speak for Go, as I hate Google with a dying passion, but the Rust toolchain not supporting GNU style is a tiny part of why I don't like the language (well, I do like it conceptually, but I wouldn't want to use it for anything).

Well, years kater, K had some more ideas for programming languages... :)
