PEP 8: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ I think it's actually a great feature of the language, I almost never got code that didn't match or nearly matched PEP 8. Google's go goes even further by having the canonical style define by gofmt. Once your code is written, you run it through gofmt and it turns canonical. If your code doesn't look nice after gofmt, you must file a bug against gofmt rather than hand tweak the formatting. I'd be all for having clojure-fmt that would format clojure code in the way Rich prefers it so that when I get random code I could convert it to a nice and predictable format. It should be even simpler to write for a lisp than other languages. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
