In these kind of languages, you forget about formatting at all. 
You just set "go fmt" to run on each save in your IDE and then 
you can put braces however you want and the formatter will set 
them up in an expected way.

For D I also run dfmt on save and don't really argue with it. I 
used to be in the "let people code how they want" camp, but 
nowadays I'm more for consistent formatting, because it's one 
less barrier when reviewing code from others.
