Putting every single item in this on my list of "reasons to kill a motherfucker".

Seriously though, I find myself oddly attracted to the Python-braces style .. if only I could use it without running afoul of my own list.

The best coding styles are the ones that allow to be translated back and forth to another style.

It doesn't matter which style you prefer. As long as a computer can pick it up and translate it into the project standard style and back to yours again. You can simply setup git filters and live in you own style world.

> Poetry... quite eye-pleasing I disagree with this comment. That style makes the code extremely hard to follow, as there's no proper indention to identify scope.

Most of these examples are meant to be a joke, I’d assume.

Yes, the whole article is semi tongue-in-cheek. I tried to bring it back to reality by mentioning my appreciation for the creativity of people who designed the styles. :)
