Hi Sven! We won't change the way the source code is formatted, as we like it the way it is. Most people take a short while to "switch over" from more traditional JavaScript source code formatting, but once you've made that step the code is pretty easy to read.
The basic rules governing the style are conciseness and overal code beauty (of course, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, so YMMV).
