Conventions are how code is structured and expected to be read. Very few languages actually enforce or even suggest conventions, hence the many style guides. It's a standout feature of Go to have a format style, and people still don't agree with it. And it's kinda moot when you can always override conventions. It's more accurate to say a team decides on the conventions of a language.
