Code Styles as Mental Disorders

Text on the meme

Code styles Allman while (x == y) { func1(); func2(); } Kernighan & Ritchie while (x == y) { func1(); func2(); } GNU while (x == y) { func1 (); func2 (); } Whitesmiths while (x == y) { func1(); func2(); } Mental disorders Horstmann while (x == y) { func1(); func2(); } Haskell style while (x == y) { func1() ; func2() ;} Ratliff style while (x == y) { func1(); func2(); } Lisp style while (x == y) { func1(); func2(); }

What it means

A chart compares several programming brace and indentation styles, grouping them under “Code styles” and “Mental disorders.” The joke exaggerates programmers’ strong opinions about formatting by treating less familiar styles as psychological conditions, making it useful as a reaction to code-style arguments.
