There was a recent discussion on the python list regarding maximum line length. It occured to me that beautiful haskell programs tend to be plump (ie have long lines) compared to other languages whose programs are 'skinnier'. My thoughts on this are at http://blog.languager.org/2012/10/layout-imperative-in-functional.html.
Are there more striking examples than the lexer from the standard prelude? [Or any other thoughts/opinions :-) ]
For what is worth, in our project (Ganeti) which has a mixed Python/Haskell codebase, we're using the same maximum length (80-but-really-79) in both languages, without any (real) issues. regards, iustin
