Go is a very opinionated language which is why I was so lucky for their opinion on this (and other things) to agree with mine.

If prefer two spaces per indention instead of tabs, but otherwise I agree with the choice of style.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

Tabs has no place in code, just recently I started a project with four space indentation, that quickly got changed to two.

And who can forget this abomination

while (x == y) { func1(); func2(); }

Aka the bash one-liner

Allmans what I learnt then went to K&R on my own because it made more sense to me. I think GNU is fine I guess, not the others though. Not that what I say matters I've forgotten how to code and can barely do Hello World these days.

Why would a development environment show you code in a different style from what you like? It's a simple conversion.

Why would your IDE show you code in a language other than you prefer? It's just a conversion.

Even my web browser shows any text in languages I can read, but for some reason it doesn't let me edit a document through the translation.

On a serious note tho, I never understood the benefits of GNU's spaces after functions. I don't really mind most of the rest but I just don't get the benefits of 'funcname (arg)' vs. 'funcname(arg)'. Is there a specific reason for this? Personally, I find this to reduce readability because I have to think for a split second whether I'm looking at a variable or a function call.

Of cause this is also due to my habits, but I'm curious as to what the reasoning is.

Honestly I think it's just "spaces before open parens" and at least it's consistent. K&R, which I use, wants spaces before the parens in conditionals and loops but not in method sigs or method calls and the linter at work gets me almost every time I type the word "if".

That's why Python has a superior syntax. There is usually one obvious way to do it, and that's the right way.

Allman is a benign neurosis

fixed?? 😳😳

[-] sverit@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

This is the way

[-] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

I want a language that takes this and has a specification for the editor to prettify it

while x==y
     func1
     func2
[-] Spaghetti_Hitchens@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

I might argue that rhe syntax of God's language is the one true syntax.

I am tired and unmotivated so I probably won't though.
