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.

Cheers,
Carl
