Hi, I would liked that gofmt would handle this one also in order to avoid battles about what is the correct line wrapping in go.
In Effective Go there is a section, with smaller fonts than the usual document that states: Line lengthGo has no line length limit. Don't worry about overflowing a punched card. If a line feels too long, wrap it and indent with an extra tab. The above line leaves a lot of room for interpretation: Assume you have something lengthy, which is also left for interpretation, you should wrap and ident with an extra tab: Now I have the following outcomes: shinyThing := New(argument1 string, argument2 string, argument3 string, argument4 string, argument5 string) you have shinyThing := New( argument1 string, argument2 string, argument3 string, argument4 string, argument5 string ) and there are possibly 100 more variations out there. I personally prefer the first one because I use as much horizontal space as I can (i have a limit for 120 chars per line) and I use as little as possible vertical space in order to not need to scroll. I optimize for having as much as possible in one screen. Does anybody have a convention that is generally accepted for this? Would this make sense to be part of gofmt? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
