I am the first one.

I'm the second one which is sort of disrupting the balance at work.. ☺️

i do the first in most circumstances, but the second one for an else statement

I converted to 2nd a while ago and never looked back. If I look at code from before I feel kind of dirty

2nd for The win!

I generally use the second style these days, but I'm not particularly biased one way or the other.

I'm the second one.. because it saves me an extra line and 'enter' key. :)

I am the second type, moving towards the first but I don't like.

I used to be the first one, now I use the second purely because intelli j does it for me

First for C#, second for JavaScript, because coding standards.

I'm somewhere in middle.resullt of working in different jobs

Second one definitely

Second one because I code in JavaScript and automatic semicolon insertion means that:

return
{ "code": 0, "msg": "a-ok" };

returns undefined, but

return {
"code": 0,
"msg": "a-ok"
};

works.

Second.

2nd one

Second. But that was 20 years ago ...

Who came up with curly braces and their predecessor, begin and end, anyway?

I'm so happy I don't have to litter my code with either, when programming F# or Haskell. Indents FTW!

(Ooops, I might have just introduced a third kind of people. Next, we'll have a Clojure programmer introducing a fourth.)

Only the 2nd type are human. The 1st type are minions of the devil.

Second :)

I'm both :p. Visual Studio forces me to be a person I am not :p and now I've grown accustomed to it. smh

First one for C#, second one for Java...

The image didn't even include how to handle the else clause :(

@Grumpy Presumably the group of individuals that developed Algol.

second

Second! Because is the code standard to Objective-C!

The second one for sure. I can't stand the wasted near-empty lines that the first style promotes.

there are two types of LANGUAGES

@crystalclear Eh? Explain.

@nmunro

languages have coding conventions that dictate where opening braces go

@crystalclear I guess, but what about languages that don't have braces? XD

@crystalclear which languages that use braces also force their placement? Most I know allow either (e.g. Java, PHP, JavaScript,etc.)

@nmunro

I guess there are three types of languages, then

@crystalclear Three works, those on the right, those below, and those without.

im the 1st too

Apparently most devs look through the file they are editing to see which one is used so far, then use the other one...

First

I was taught C/C++ by my professor who used the first way, but I was taught JavaScript by a professor who used the second way. I guess I just kind of adopted both ways depending on the language I use

second for god's sake!
