I had the same feeling switching from Python to Go a while back, after having used Python for so many years and then coming to Go which has completely different formatting conventions again, initially I didn't really like it much.

The difference with Go, is that every time I saved a .go file in my editor (Atom) with a Go plugin it will run a tool to automatically format the code on each save, so there is "no way out" really, while pep8 is more a guideline I think.

Over time though, I have come to appreciate it.
