#11082: Tweak workflow around overlong lines -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by diatchki): I'd also vote for formatting that fits in 80 characters. I typically work with two editors open next to each other: usually one for editing code, and one for browsing code, and it is really nice not to have to constantly scroll or switch between windows. I follow the 80 character limit on all projects I work with, and I find that it is not very hard to format code to fit in the window, even when there are long name. To do that I either use more but shorter lines, or I name large sub-expressions. I think both of those contribute to the readability of the code. Of course, that's quite subjective. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11082#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
