Yes , i am german... But curly braces i would subsumize under "coding style". In german language the wording "programming" (programmieren) means looking for the ways of logic, managing the ways the streams of data go ... etc. I watched some video of a linux convention. And there a guru (do not know the name anymore, some weeks ago) mentioned that programming recursive in the kernel is a absolute no go, every recursion can also be programmed without. And that is often even faster. Something like that he said. And for my understandings this was said against reiser4 even if it was not mentioned.
