See attachment.

I tried returning two closures from one function, but gofmt formats it oddly.

It looks fine with a tab width of 4 (like go-tour), but it looks hideous with

a tab width of 8.

Is this intentional? Does gofmt assume tab width of 4 or 8?

main.go

No.

Does this look better? https://play.golang.org/p/0NnZmegKVAu

Ie. just add a line break between the return values. Gofmt will keep
yout choice.

Gofmt uses ascii tab characters.
It is up to readers to set tabs width as they please.

Hope this helps,
