In candor I dabbled in Go in 2016 and found the community leaders arrogant and rude. I hope the community has evolved since then to expect more from leaders, but would need to see evidence of this before touching Go voluntarily again.

I've used a good dozen languages and I don't know the "community leaders" of any of those.
I can’t imagine ever picking a language based on this feature and seems weird to even mention it.
This has never caused me a minute of headache and the only time I care is when conflicting styles are used in the same file.
I always thought it was kind of dumb of Go to care about this but don’t care enough to affect my language choice. I don’t use Go but am open if it’s a fit for a project.
I like that Python has that variability and let’s developer make decisions as they see fit.
I don’t want to talk to people about tabs and spaces unless we’re already friends and having a few beers.
