Re: [Haskell-cafe] Coding conventions for Haskell?

As for other stuff, I don't like the vertical lining up thing. It's too much work to type in, causes too much realigning when the top line changes, sometimes causes things to get too far right, and breaks entirely with proportional fonts. A plain indent as advocated above avoids all those problems.

I'm going to go ahead and offer a contrary viewpoint -- lining up code vertically makes it so much easier to read that the extra work involved (trivial, if you have a half-decent text editor) is more than worth it. Also, if you're reading code in a proportional font, "you're doing it wrong." G -- Gregory Collins <greg@gregorycollins.net>
