nice here and there, but maybe something like 100, 120 or even 130 might
actually make the code more readable and permit us to use slightly
longer identifiers without having to wrap every second statement in the
code.
What do people generally think here?
Not that I'm coding much on Osmo, well it
says RFC.. :-)
I have recently been making at attempt to clean up some python coding
style using pylint and I have been wincing a little at the "standard"
default of a line width of 79, although some arguments in favour do make
sense.
My terminal is generally 120 -140 characters wide. I also use Sublime
Text which usually displays 110 the way I have it.
You mentioned something recently about why would anyone read code in a
web browser, I find myself browsing code more and more on sites such as
github, rather than getting a local copy, via clone or download and
extract etc.
- I had a conversation recently about how we tend more to lookup quick
reminders of things on the web, even though there are local manpages.
need to get offline more.. :)
Anyway, github site handles 120 chars fine. I guess any issue might be
more with gerrit.
