do not want to be forced to write code in someone else's style. As long as
people don't do completely crazy stuff with formatting, it's generally easy
enough to read code such that the formatting really shouldn't be an issue.
But Mark Chu-Carroll is very smart and expert, he's always worth listening to.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_authority ;) A coding standard is
good, but a it is often enforced only within one organization, not
necessarily for the whole language.
Anyway, D has http://d-programming-language.org/dstyle.html, which is
applied to Phobos, at least. I think it is already up-to-date, except
the [80, 120] maximum line width and '{' on its own line rules? This has
been discussed several times already.
(Speaking of which, druntime should also follow this style convention. I
cringe when adopting my code to the original style
(`f(<space>param<space>)`) of core.demangle.)
Let's make a bugzilla listing out all lacking (or over-restrictive)
recommendations in dstyle.html.
The Scala coding standard:

I presume other D programmers share your opinion. But not using a standard with
a bit more energy will be one of the faults of D.
