Sounds a lot like PHP :) which I must add I love dearly, though it certainly resembles your remark much more closely than JavaScript. But on-topic, novices using a coding style and feeling their way around a new language would be better served by the 1TB style than anything that easily allows statement insertion (either by them, or by silly language defects like JavaScript's semicolon insertion).
Oh for sure, it's necessary that novices have something towards which they can evolve. If they start with Allman's then how could they improve their brace style >:) Cheers, Rob. -- E-Mail Disclaimer: Information contained in this message and any attached documents is considered confidential and legally protected.
