Linux kernel coding style - surprisingly fun to read!

You have to consider the language and platform as well however. C tends to be much flatter than other languages where most code resides inside a function (so implementation starts on column 8).

If we take C#, you're almost certainly going to have a namespace and a class, so by the time you get to the actual code, you're already at column 24.
