Is this some kind of python meme I'm too C++ to understand?

Now, I'm completely willing to start a war about { going on the next line.

It goes on the line! If you put it below, you're wasting a line for no extra readability!

It goes on the next line, so you can have open and close brackets at the same indent depth for easy visual matching.

Your closing } goes on a new line below at the same indent depth as the line containing the open {!

fn main() {
    println!("WTF?");
          }

PS: I know what you meant

Totally agree, all my { end up on the next line, 1st spot when starting a function, last character of the keyword when starting an if/for/... section. I even put the closing one on the same line when it's single line, else either at the end of the closing line (when changing really old code) or same indent.

So indenting varies a lot, which makes most 'new' programmers go mental.

while (my code)
    { I'll do it my way }

if (! liked)
 { toughen-up }
else
 { get used to it
   multi-line can go both ways...
 }

That is, unless the font used messes it up. ;)
