Agreed, the brackets must line up so the nesting is clearly visible.

SPIN (the high level language for the Propeller microcontroller) doesn't use braces - only horizontal spacing. i.e.

if bSomething1
 doif1true()
 doif1true()
 if bSomething2
   doif2true()
   doif2true()
 doif1true()
else
 doif1false()

I completely disagree (so SPIN should be my language ). If you indent blocks, why wasting any space for brackets? If absolutely hate this kind of bloated coding. In the end you need a 30" LCD to see even a small code block.

That or Visual Basic

 

My workmate was cursing the whole day as well. He's using brackets to scope variables as in:

 

   {
       String str = "bla";
   }
   ...
   {
       String str = "blu";
   }

 

To avoid checkstyle errors he now "fixed" all those passages as in:

 

   if(true) {
       String str = "bla";
   }
   ...
   if(true) {
       String str = "blu";
   }

 

What a fucked up plugin...
