@anuengineer I get your argument that we must be inclusive and the source code should be readable by visually challenged and https://accessibility.digital.gov/ recommends keeping the text under 75 characters per line. My argument is that as @elek pointed out earlier, a majority (if not all) of the IDEs out there support soft-wrapping source code at any limit that the user wants. They can even read the code at 66 characters per line if that is what the user is comfortable with. But for developers who are comfortable with reading code at 100 or 120 characters per line, the source code is not accommodative. And I really like and completely agree with Linus's arguments against 80 column lines from the email thread you shared earlier (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/29/1038). So, what is the harm in extending the line limit to 120 characters, when users can always consume it the way they want to? Wouldn't it be more accommodative to a wider set of audience? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
