I agree with xman { should not be on same line. They should be below and line up
{
so it
is easy
to follow
a
block;
}

Only someone who is utterly inexperienced at working with others code would even consider suggesting putting the { on the same line. { and } must line up – this is a huge help in finding missing block structure.

I say this from 30 years of experience of programming in languages that use { } and from having tried all the styles.

I would like to extend this suggestion to have a space in front of all opening braces: “if (..) {“, “while(..) {“, etc. Otherwise, very nice guide!

I think the very first sentence of the guide takes care of that. :-)

Any violation to this guide is allowed if it enhances readability.

Guidelines are very important and overall Dojo's are very good. We just need to convince Alex to allow us to put an extra space after a function definition. :P function something() { vs. function something(){ //(makes my head hurt)
