Tools like Prettier can automate this with curly-brace languages, so indentation (tabs or spaces?) stops being something you waste brain power on, similar to how code editors will match the current line's indent on the next line when y

I don't really see a problem with that code - there is no confusion, `Ptr(None)` is clearly not `None`. Whereas var i *int = nil var x interface{} = i if x != nil { I assigned `nil` to `x` and yet `x` is not nil. Impli
