It's hard for me to read long lines.
I don't think 4 spaces makes it easier to know in what scope I'm in when there are a lot of scopes. The amount of white space is a bit overwhelming to me.
But you know, it's no big deal, just a matter of taste. Maybe 3 spaces is a better answer, which I guess we'll never know...
- agentgt 10y agoHow long of a line are we talking here? Most coding standards are 80-120 with maybe some at 140. If you are say 4 levels deep the additional characters used over 2 spaces is 8 characters. You got whopping 8 additional characters to make an even longer line of code (code to be interpreted or read) and screwed over the people who need the indenting. If long lines are a problem than just refactor. I agree long lines are hard to read but there is a simple fix. Either refactor or just put in a line feed (or however the PL deal with long lines aka \ for bash or python).
