+1, I make this mistake surprisingly often, and it reads better.

[tomjakubowski]

Consistency and brevity with no loss in clarity make this an easy 👍 from me.

+1. Besides the reasons given, in Haskell it comes after the deceleration, but in Rust it comes first.

+1.deriving is the only attribute that ends with "ing". We also have use, not using. Additionally, for the type declaration with deriving to read like a grammatically correct English sentence, deriving must come after the type declaration (which it doesn't).

It is much more consistent to use "derive" than "deriving"

We discussed this at today's meeting and approve, merging.
