- Designers of the language forced their where-braces-go religion on everyone by building it into the language.

For me, that means every time I attempt to write code in Go my nose is rubbed in the "this language was built by assholes who have no respect for you".

Oh really? I can see that I suppose, but I always found it kind of nice that they enforce a very specific style. It makes it so that all Go code I see is consistent and clear. Same with the way they do documentation.

I guess it does take some of the aesthetic or artistic quality out of it, but in practice it's never bothered me. On the contrary, not having the option removes quite a bit of mental overhead on what (to me) comes down to a fairly religious but ultimately inconsequential viewpoint.

Are you being ironic? I guess it wouldn't overly bother the OP, considering he's switching from python, where "the designers of the language forced their mind-your-indentation religion on everyone blah blah blah".

The indent-backwards programmers must have felt very offended by that. :)
