> just make a choice

Now you are bikeshedding. Just go with the defaults.

[wartijn_]

Which defaults? The programming languages I’ve worked with don’t have defaults for everything related to formatting. Editor defaults don’t work, since not everybody uses the same editor. So you have to make a choice somewhere.

A lot of (relatively) recent languages do have defaults. Go and rust both come with an auto formatter out of the box, and defaults that are sane enough to just run with

[stavros]

I guess the GP means "use an opinionated formatter", I agree with both of you.

Please inform me what the defaults are for Java, C#, C++, C, Bash and Python?
