Re: [Haskell-cafe] Optimal line length for haskell

I'm not viewing on a narrow device, and I see the wrapped (and the whole post confined to the centre of the screen). I certainly don't use an 80-column limit any more. I use the rule: A function must be completely visible in my editor on my screen. (but this is only a good rule if most people who will be reading the code will also have a similar sized viewport. After all, code is far more often read than written.) And I balance line length with function length. On 29 October 2012 12:18, Rustom Mody wrote:

It is kind of ironic that the wide code examples in the blog post are wrapped at 65 chars by the blog formatting.

Well that goes to underscore a couple of points: 1. The fixed 80 char width that was inviolable decades ago breaks today on both sides: it may be too low or too high! 2. I guess I dont know how to use blogger very well :-) 3. Are you viewing on a narrow device?
