I think you could call this the official Java style at least.

Nah... something done by the makers of Java?
That would never be official.

7.4

7.4 if, if-else, if else-if else Statements

The if-else class of statements should have the following form:

if (condition) {
    statements;
}

if (condition) {
    statements;
} else {
    statements;
}

if (condition) {
    statements;
} else if (condition) {
    statements;
} else {
    statements;
}

^ I hate this. Go enforces it.

Code: [Select]

if (condition)
{
    statements;
}
else if (condition)
{
    statements;
}
else
{
    statements;
}
^ Better (imo).

I lost all faith and love of go as soon as I noticed that C curly bracket style is illegal.

Actually... wait, what?

The K&R C-style, the one used by the creators of the language in the original authoritative book on it...

Is the same as Go.

And is the closest thing to Python-style you'll get while still having braces.

Also, for that matter, as much as you might like your way of doing things, I generally like writing code that I don't need a portrait-orientation non-standard-aspect ratio monitor to read

you're kidding me

right?

nagn, the thing is languages don't specifically "support vs no support" things

in cases like this they are literally just forcing people to use one style

Which is perfectly fine by me because it makes style discussions unneccessary, and thus thousands of programmer-hours around the world were saved.

I still want to see a language have a feature for enforcing custom formatting styles.

?!

There are literally thousands of tools that do just that.

[Phantom Brave]

>tools

Also, the vast majority of said tools enforce their /own/ style (e.g. JSLint)

You are welcome to contribute.

I don't want a specific code formatting, I want freedom.

Doesn't give them the right to decide for all programmers. If I don't agree with their decision (I don't), then I just don't use Go anymore.
