At least I think I'm referring to OG. I vaguely recall defending the K&R indentation style with OG pointing me why he thought Allman to be better. A handful of years later and several projects where Allman style was mandated by coding rules it actually became my new indentation style, mostly for the reasons OG pointed to me (easier to see the nesting level of constructs, better block separation, easier manipulation of the condition statement regardless of the operation done in the block).

I use Allman because I often find that horizontal space is wasted and vertical space is used miserly. A condition is important, so it should stand out and be easy to read, and putting the left brace on the next line helps with that.

I agree completely, whoever came up with K&R style ( probably K&R ) were out of their mind, no matter whatever other brilliant stuff they came up with. What could be better than:
{ // this is where we do stuff for whatever reason
...
...
}Their 8-space (tab) indentation is worse. Despicable, in fact.

Don't you know what this will do to Griff's ego if you publicly declare him "right all along". :sigh:

I miss TP - and I'm not talking about tp.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
You'd miss tp as well if it were gone.

Allman all the way, for me. "White space" is cheap, now ... compared to when "real programmers don't eat quiche." [^]

Ah, it's been so long since we had a braces war ;) Allman style is awesome, K&R is fugly X| But I like Python even better, where indentation determines scope.
Cheers, Vikram.

The word 'despicable' is a moral judgment. Given that they invented the brace style at the same time they invented the C programming language, and tabs were 8 spaces wide because of teletypes and other such hardware, a little bit of understanding might be in order.

Allman braces are morally, ethically, and spiritually superior to any other brace style, including K&R.
