The hardest program I've ever written (2015)
I don&#x27;t understand why people have this fetich for automatic formatters. If you really want this, you should be using old style FORTRAN or something similar. The good thing about modern languages is that you don&#x27;t depend on the location of code in the page for it to work. If you start worrying too much about exact formatting, you throw away this big advantage. I really prefer code in the location where I put it, not where are machine thinks it is best.<p>And if you think that formatting is a problem to understand the code, let&#x27;s get real: this is the smallest of the problems. There are tons of other things that make code complicated to read, like variable and function names, the particular style of your code, how you split it into classes and files, the algorithm you&#x27;re using, and so many other, more important things. I can guarantee you that if a piece of code is well written, you can understand it independent of where you put braces or the number of spaces you&#x27;re using.
