Though it's common practice for sure, maybe universal, does the "Don't insert a space after a lambda" rule make sense?
I found it confusing at first sight, because of course it looks like something else - in "\n m -> ...", to the uninitiated it represents a newline, for example. Now that I understand that it's a symbolic keyword, it's an odd way to treat it. This has probably come up before, so feel free to ignore, "I'm just saying."
I think I lean more towards surrounding "\" with spaces nowadays.
The white space I have trouble deciding on is one-line record syntax -- ARecord { aField = "a" }, or maybe ARecord {aField = "a"}.
I always do the former and I think it's the more common style.
