Types Are Moving to the Right

In my opinion the second reads better, because if you have multiple declarations (multiple rows) then they will all line up:

  Tiger Woods: a golfer.
  Jon Rahm: a golfer.
  Bryson DeChambeau: a golfer.

  A golfer: Tiger Woods.
  A golfer: Jon Rahm.
  A golfer: Bryson DeChambeau.

This makes it easier to group up information when glancing at the code.

I don't understand the alignment argument. You can insert spaces (or your editor ) and align types on the right if needed.

So, will you go back and beautify code? When will you insert them? If there are 3 lines like that? 4? 5?

It leaves so many questions that will have to be solved through "best practices" and everyone ends up doing it slightly differently.
