Some people on IRC told me a more lisp-ish style would be more appropriate, 'no dangling brackets':[[socket isNil ifTrue: [ [| conn | trycnt := trycnt + 1. This is of course more compact, but I consider the first example more readable. Of course in the end it's a matter of taste. But what style do you recommend?
I will often use a mixture, based on the length of the block. For short blocks, I don't go to a new line; for longer ones, I use the style in your first example (the one I snipped).
Even when using the style I cite above, I will always put something after a keyword, unlike your example (i.e. I would have started the new line after "ifTrue: [").
The conversion tool generates code in the latter format, so soon enough the source code will all be in this format.
