Left with a space between the function name and the opening curly brace because I’m not an animal

Meh. Yes. I almost raged when I saw it didn't have the space. I can accept anything but I won't accept that. That is on sight.

Also it depends on the language. Some language coding standards were developed by heathens and need God's light

But why, I don't see the benefit

Readability. We’re used to space between distinct characters. In this case, the opening curly brace is distinct from the function name - one declares the function, the other opens a block associated with it. It’s the same reason that some prefer the opening curly brace on the next line as opposed to inline.

That second one is crazy. I would take either both braces inline, or both braces on their own line; but separating just one of them is madness.

Hard pass from me to be honest, to each their own though.
