Hi, This is a question to whoever decided that go will use tabs - team or person:
Could you please explain your reasoning behind the decision? So far, all my googling has just turned up the what and not the why: States that tabs are to be used: cmd/gofmt: remove -tabs and -tabwidth flags <https://github.com/golang/go/issues/7101> Command gofmt <https://golang.org/cmd/gofmt/> Asks the question, but quickly gets off topic without answering it: Why does go fmt use an 8 space indent <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/93t0LWvHrKM> So my question is why were tabs chosen? I have no preference for tabs vs anything else, but I do respect the go team and the language designers and would really like to know the thinking behind the decision.
