Development Discussion Board

There is one reason in particular why always wrapping code in curly braces is a good idea: You will never accidentally add an unconditional statement that was meant to be conditional, because you need to add braces once you want to add a second statement inside the if.

The tabs versus spaces argument may be an eternal religious war. I’m not sure if it’s possible to come to an absolute agreement since most of the developers that I know are either adamantly opposed to spaces, or adamantly opposed to tabs.
