I get (friendly) flack for this from some of my coworkers, context is we're a C# and Java(Type)Script shop.  They poke fun at how I write these languages like a C programmer but I don't ever hear anyone complaining about the readability of my code :)

Declarations anywhere else but the top of blocks irks me, even if the language is totally fine with it.  The only exception is asm, putting all the data and bss at the bottom of assembly units instead.
