Static libraries can be created even now.
This is done by the tools TailBite, coffit and etc. But unfortunately they are very dependent on the PB static libraries.
Switching to C won't change anything and the dependencies will remain.

Or Pb2StaticLib... But, oh yeah, the dependencies

Nice. I didn't know about the names of these styles. I prefer K&R. It's more compact and also easy to read.

I didn't know they had names either, but I've been using Gnu style since before I'd heard of either Gnu or open source...

Curly braces only exist for the easy of implementing logical blocks in a compiler. They are simply syntactic fluff, not needed at all as you can clearly see with python. Indent indent until its aldente and ???, WTF is wrong!

Allman is good for my dyslexia.

It seems to me that for each person absolutely individual perception of text style. The main thing is that it is convenient to work without going into fruitless discussions about what is better.

I'm a Linksträger! Now you, guys...

This ^ is the reason I shared my style, and also why I didn't say it was the best way.

Allman is what they advocate at Harvard

I'm Dyslexic so you can shove all your styles as long as it compiles. It looks the same to me from any angle!

I agree with your position. Sharing your point of view is good, but imposing it on others is bad. It's good that you don't impose anything on anyone. I am for healthy communication and healthy exchange of experience.

Same for me, Slight dislexia, I have learned to deal with it.
And for now, I don't know enough to go behind the box, as long as it compiles.
I am more concerned about the compilation speed which must remain one of the strong points.

I'd expect it to be up to ~2.5 times slower at the most. guess we will just have to wait and see.

Allman solves all that noise.

Clang-Format solves all that noise. Each company has its own style guidelines and each developer can just write code in their own personal style of choice but before commiting code to repository, run it through clang-format. There is a clang-format plugin for every popular code editor to make this conversion as easy as possible with a single button click inside code editor.

Switching in and out of styles is lame.
Pick 1 and crank.

Yeah baby. I run my code through goat style. 3 toggles!!! (I love 3 toggle mutant goat style. Probably accounts for why I make so many errors)
