Why Clojure doesn't follow the most common indentation style in java code?
clojure, java
Solution
The code you are referring to uses the Whitesmiths style of brace indentation.
It is a matter of personal preference. Nothing wrong with it, other than it is not very common.
Problem
I was looking at java code in Clojure. I found the indentation to be very strange to me. I'm pretty used to the indentation style by http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/codeconventions-136091.html#262. And most of the IDEs have configured auto-format in this way. Why doesn't Clojure follow this style? UPDATE: I meant the part of Clojure implemented in java e.g. https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/ARef.java
