You didn't understand what I mean, I don't want 1-line code.

Having the opening bracket in the same line of the "code block starter" statement doesn't interfer with readability. Think of you reading some code, when you see an "if" or a "do" or a "while" or anything that imply a code block, you already know that there's a code block coming, and indentation makes that more explicit. But, in the other hand, you can't predict when the code block will end, that's the reason to put the closing bracket alone in one line. More code fitting in the page is for consistency, is way better to have functions that fit in one page, so you don't need to scroll up and down following the execution path.
