Not super scientific, but it might get some interesting discussions going.

"Do you observe an 80 characters per line restriction for code?"

Sort of. 'Other' doesn't really capture that though. I bet most
people follow some line-length restriction but it may not be 80 columns.

A better question might be "Do you follow a maximum line-length standard?"



"Enumeration style"

No option for using one or the other depending on side effects or return
value.

Well, it didn't show my score at the end, but I think I got all of
them correct! :)

Ha ha ha. I wonder how widely answers vary between developers.

Side note: The Go programming language ships with gofmt which formats
Go code, hopefully making stylistic differences an argument of the
past.
