gofmt enforces tabs.

  Given that, I'm surprised to see that tabs are less prevalent in golang than two spaces are in ruby.

    That would be disturbing - it would indicate that people are eschewing go fmt.

      It could be more non-go files in the go repos throwing off the numbers?

      Go users aren't satisfied with what's already being used? Big surprise.

        Not sure I follow. Go fmt is a built-in linter (for lack of a better word) tool. It's not required, it's not unique to Go nor is not using a linter unique to Go users. In general it tends to have much more religious support among users because of its ease of use and rigid, inarguable formatting.
