pure evil

function foo() {
  // Some beautiful code
}

function foo() 
{
  // OMG! did you see?
  // Curly bracket in new line!!!1
}

PURE EVIL

GOOD

if (foo) {
  do_a();
} else
{ 
  do_b();
  do_c()
}

if ( bar ) do_d();

EVILEST THING EVER

if (foo) {
  do_a();
} else { 
  do_b();
  do_c();
}

if (bar) { 
  do_d();
}

GLORIOUSLY CONSISTENT

if ( foo ) 
{
  do_a();
} 
else 
{ 
  do_b();
  do_c();
}

if ( bar ) 
{ 
  do_d();
}
