I wonder why this is suddenly accepted. Having very rigid coding standards used to be a no-go for projects you were either not paid for or in an industry where "creative expression" mattered more (i.e. not J2EE).

There were coding styles, but actually enforcing them wasn't something regularly done (linting is okay), for fear of "bondage & discipline" complaints.

Now the former "rock star" Ruby developers are embracing static typing and Ein Code, Ein Style formatting. Weird.
