Re: Is 78 characters still a good option? Was: [Haskell-cafe] breaking too long lines

Something like newtype MyCoolMonad = MyCoolMonad (FirstTransformer (SecondTransformer (ThirdTransformer Whatever))) deriving (Functor, Monad, FirstClass, SecondClass, ThirdClass, SomeOtherClass) Nobody would be really interested in "deriving" clause, because it basically says "derive everything possible". Therefore, it seems pointless to move it to another line. On 24 Apr 2009, at 16:37, Loup Vaillant wrote:

Haskell is a very horizontal language, and to limit our horizontal space seems pretty weird.

+1. I sometimes use lines up to 200 characters long, when I feel they would be more readable.

200 sounds awfully long. Do you have any example?
