You don't HAVE to write lines that way, though it is the convention which as a mostly outsider I've never been a huge fan of. Think about languages like c# where you often have multiple closing curly braces but the convention is separate lines. You could write them like Lisp if you wanted but no one does.
- jpk 4y agoI assume "))))" is idiomatic because of the typical depth of nesting required in languages like this. If you always used newlines and indents to align the closing character, you'd waste a lot of vertical space. That's less of an issue in something like C# where you don't have to nest as deeply.
