That's something that would have appealed to me years ago, but now not so much. In 2018, I want all the libraries, and all the code I ever look at in a language to follow the same style and naming conventions. If you adapt yourself to that, my belief is that will aid comprehension in the long term. So I appreciate the language communities which have strong conventions which are followed by the majority, and are encouraged / enforced by the tooling. All hail gofmt and rustfmt!
