This is actually about removing a number of chores from programming:

- having to worry about confirming to a style guide

- having to review and/or reformat other peoples code to conform to the style guide

- having to learn the style guide

- having to write a style guide

- having to break flow to format your code properly.

In what way is removing a bunch of gross chores intended to make code readable for others, is this about “toxic processes?”

gofmt and friends remove one of the most toxic processes of all: style guides.
