in addition to adhering to mathematical typsetting conventions, permitting binary operators to be on the following line would make it easier to comment out sub-expressions. for example,
if a>b || c>d || e>f end could become if a>b # || c>d || e>f end i'm not advocating for a mandatory line continuation character. that would be terrible. but changing julia to look at the preceding line if the current line doesn't make sense by itself would be great. ben On Monday, June 1, 2015 at 3:35:50 PM UTC-4, Christoph Ortner wrote: > > > Just to reiterate a comment I made above: the convention in mathematical > typesetting is > b > + c > and not > b + > c > > this is the main reason I have (more than once) fallen into this trap. > Anyhow, I will try to use brackets for a while and see how I like it. > > Christoph >
