We Have Names For The Styles Now

We Have Names For The Styles Now

Remember when we just wrote code without caring about whose "style" it was? Now we've got eight different ways to place your damn curly braces and whitespace in a simple while loop. Kernighan & Ritchie put the opening brace on the same line, GNU indents it differently, and Lisp style crams everything together like code real estate costs a fortune. And don't get me started on Haskell style with those bizarre semicolons. The funniest part? We'll still argue for hours about which one is "correct" while the actual functionality remains identical. Twenty years in this industry and we're still fighting about cosmetics instead of solving real problems.
