Go Style Guide

General Formatting Rules

• We format Go files using gofumpt, a stricter version of gofmt with additional preferences.
• Up to 90 columns per line. You may go above (up to 97) if the line fits within that amount and it is not worth it to break the line.
• When parentheses (such as in function calls) are wrapped on multiple lines, the closing parentheses should be on its own line (except if there are curly braces before it).
