alt Hacker NewsYou're intended to run gofmt on every save. golang is designed to be a sort of straight-jacket that forces everyone to write code in the same way (style etc) so that the junior devs can understand it clearly.

Why are you talking about go fmt? I'm talking about parser of the go language
If I write
if x
{
bla
}
And so that people (of any level) don't bikeshed over silly things like tabs and spaces or { and newlines.
I really like this about go - that it formats code for you, and miss it in other languages where we have linters but not formatters, which is a terrible idea IMO.
