So, 80 column folks,
I don't consider myself to be an 80 column person. - I default my
XTerm windows to 132 x 50. (Rows matter less.)
would you find this
a(b,
c,
d)
more readable than
a(b,c,d)
I don't know if it plays into preferences or not, but I do find that
having things on one line makes it significantly easier to
programmability modify the line with a Regular Expression.
Maybe I need to learn some more about RE's to make working across lines
easier.
would you have code review software that automatically
bounces out lines
that are 82 columns wide? How far does this go?
My $EMPLOYER does have CR processes that complain about lines longer
than 80 characters.
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
Interesting. I wonder if that's where the 132 column (alternative)
standard came from. I.e. XTerm's "Allow 80/132 Column Switching" option
in the VT Options menu.
