I see that the Click sourcecode is formatted at 80 chars width, but
this is a
very very old
convention from the times of text based CRTs.
Why not use 120? (like the standard in most companies these days)?
It makes the code more readable, and there's no screen estate problem
- on
the contrary, there's no need to scroll down so much for every small
thing.
The 80 chars width convention also makes no sense for Java since it
has so
"verbose" naming (compared to the C code style), so just too many simple
statements go on a second line.
Good catch George :).
Indeed, the "80-style" makes the code uglier for Java, and also less
compact and less readable than the "120-style" one.
+1 for reformatting the code to 120.
Now with 2.2.0 out, I would like to reformat the code to 120, for the
reasons mentioned.
Are there any issues why we shouldn't do this?
Thanks in advance,
Adrian.
