There are a bunch of styles that are consistent yet used by

This is true, one can always be consistently illegible :D

For me personally I always find switching to FORTRAN very
jarring. It is interesting because FORTRAN itself is very
readable, but the style often used and ALLCAPS everywhere make it
hard to read at first.
However, on the whole I've found consistency often leads to
legibility.
Cheers.
