> Funny how important syntax is. So easy to look at code in another style/language and go THATS NOT RIGHT!!

I'm waaay too picky in this aspect. I once was reading about Ada (before my bias towards C-like languages kicked in). It looked interesting and all, and I was like "Hmm, not bad, learning this might be interesti--"

Nope.

The irony here is, my current language of choice is Go, and tests must be named like `TestType_Method` and I'm like "arrrgggghhh".

EDIT: Btw I don't really mind indentation styles, brace placement, "dot placement" (like your example) and those things, as long as they're consistent across the codebase.
