Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe you already know this and your comment was in jest, but the real reason is that the Go lexer automatically inserts semicolons ( https://go.dev/doc/effective_go#semicolons ) using heuristic rules which forces the opening brace to be on the same line.
I never liked that decision.
heck, that sounds like three cheers. so i should abbreviate it to three sneers in future. :)
so, three sneers, for yet another blindly downvoting hn hive mind bro type who can't handle even an innocuous opinion (like my "never liked that decision" comment above), just because it is different from their own opinion. in other words, homo intolerantis.
there are a lot of such jokers on this site.
who cares about that behaviour, though? not me, for sure. hn is just some site, not important in the real world, except for those people who have nothing better to do than hang around here all day or night, and snipe at and try to put down others. iow, trolls and loser types.
as amy hoy said somewhere a while ago, maybe on her site or on twitter, fuck hn.
look, uncle darwin, i discovered a new (creepy) subspecies of homo sapiens, who i hereby name homo intolerantis.
:)
keep downvoting me, bro type, even pull in your friends to do more of it, and thereby waste all your time, and get ulcers and high blood pressure because of my innocuous comment, probably you have a lot of free time because of no job because of layoffs, while i have a good laugh at your stupidity and cheap malice.
