So, 80 column folks, would you find thisa(b,
c,
d)
more readable than
a(b,c,d)
(this is a real example, with slightly shortened names)
would you have code review software that automatically bounces out lines that are 82 columns wide? How far does this go?
I do recall 80 column monitors, but I started on 132 column decwriter IIs and hence have never had sympathy for 80 columns. It's weird that so many punched-card standards are required in our code bases now (see: Linux).
moving away from serious ... (look for Presottos' I feel so liberated ...)
