My experience with #golang taught me this: if your #programming language has a popular code formatting tool - use it, and use it *with the default settings*. The benefits of a single code formatting standard trump any subjective aesthetic preference in that regard.
Agreed. Also, if a given programming language has very powerful meta-programming abilities (like Haskell) this advice is difficult to implement since what qualifies as valid syntax can be fluid. Still, a good general rule, in my opinion.
