> A simple settings file set in stone by the CTO, such a hard task to do.

And then you have a 100 companies with 100 CTOs resulting in 100 different styles.

With Go there is only one style everywhere.



Most people only care about the code of their employer.


Many shops have to write and submit patches to upstream projects. Some shops have to maintain their own "living fork" version of an upstream project.


Yeah, and apparently use Notepad, since they are unable to have a configuration file for formatting.


Very few employers do 100% of the code in-house, everyone uses libraries and code from the internet.

Which will have a different style you need to contend with.

But with Go every single sane piece of code you find will be formatted with gofmt and will look mostly the same.
