Vim prefers it that way too, which is why (and the only reason) I use
the preceding brace placement.

Hi,
I really prefer

for the rule of least vertical screen usage (same as yours)
and the brace and the if on the same indentation level
make it clear where the conditional block of code stops.

Now that you got me thinking;
One should be explicit instead of implicit. I see this in code all the
time and it drives me crazy

Huh?

Once this gets complex enough it'll need to be self-hosting in a sense;
check the rules against the rules -- de-duplicate, simplify, add
documentation, etc. :)
Internal consistency? I don't know the correct term offhand.

Hi all,
Here's the info we've collected so far on safe programming:
==
From Tito:
Ten Commandments
1) use the least amount of code possible
2) try harder and go to point 1
3) if the code doesn't fit into one screen go to point 2
4)
32 matches
