Shawn Webb#Python makes such great use of that horizontal real estate. /s
Cybarbie@lattera #hottake Speaking as a person from the late 1900s and pioneer of early computing I do not understand the obsession with having 80CPL. You have a 4k screen for goodness sakes! Unless you are the copyparty guy I do not get why you would not want to use it. Even when we had 80 or 132 I would always choose longer on my VT whatev. Maybe optimal scan has changed in the smartphone era. 80 was a hangover of the old punchcards. I feel that code is intentionally bad including the weird inlining.
Speed demon 🇪🇺 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇸@hakona @lattera I guess you are welcome to your wrong opinion. Newspapers are hard to read. They have tiny print in narrow columns because of how they were set by hand. No true coder would want 50CPL. The optimal scan line length for programmers who have to read quickly is at or above 80CPL numerous typography studies suggest. I can scan a 132CPL line fine but I suppose if you have only ever read the 80CPL fascism that would be difficult. And don't get me started on 'variable name or prose'
