I stick to 80 columns fairly rigidly. This is not only so that it fits
into narrow windows, but also so that any two subexpressions in the
same expression tend to be close together on my screen, which makes it
easier for me to reason about it. If only it was easy for me to read
and write code on a Hilbert curve... :)
I don't think long lines indicate a design problem; it's solely a
formatting thing.

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 :-) ]
Thanks, Rusi
