Man, I thought these debates died out long ago. All that matters in
style is readability and consistency.
Looking at that code linked above::
1. Is the code formatting consistent? Yes
2. Is the code formatting consistent within the repo? Yes
3. Is the code formatting easily read by a programmer? Yes
Whether you, I, or anyone else like with the style is irrelevant.
Personally I'm not a fan, but that doesn't make the author a bad
programmer, nor does it make me right. It simply means:
a) Jacob and I prefer different formatting styles and
b) I need to adapt if I'm to work on dstep.
Now if dstep was written at Facebook then OK, the code would need
reformatting because it violates point 2. above.
As for Phobos code, insist on tighter style guidelines. No one will care
as long as it is consistent and readable. Any programmer worth anything
will just adhere to it happily. Those that don't want to are not going
to have much to contribute, they're more worried about their personal
style than advancing Phobos and D with great code.
Cheers.
Thank you.
