Ask HN: How do you quote?
In contexts where it doesn't matter what kind of quotes (' vs ") you use, which do you use for strings? Singles seem "cleaner" in some cases but I tend to carry over doubles from use in other languages.
- kragniz 15y agoI always use single quotes if I can, one less keypress. I'm a Pythonist.
- AndrewGCook 15y agoSingle quotes as much as possible, unless it's a MySQL call or HTML. I hack in PHP mostly.
- parthshah 15y agoI personally prefer single quotes. There are some advantages of double quotes like you don't have to close quotes every time you use variable. But I prefer singles because its cleaner and it helps me read my own code better.
