I'll see your 30 years and raise to over 35. (And writing code that accesses hardware for 6 or 7 years before that.) Both Java and go can look more like the K&R style C than any of the examples from microsoft - which seem to utilise as much vertical space as humanly? possible. Those rust examples seemed to be of the horrid microsoft sytle. Nothing about that style makes reading code easy.
