I have been places where we allow long strings, but other things aren’t allowed and generally 80 to 100 char limits otherwise. I like 100 for c++/java and 80 for C. If it gets much longer than that (not being strings) then it’s time for a rethink in most cases, grouping/scoping symbols are getting too deep. I’m sure other languages may or may not have that as a reasonable argument. It is just a rule of thumb though.
