Oh dear. I'm sure I shouldn't be responding to this thread, yet here I am...

With no limit, everyone's got to have a window as wide as the widest line anyone might use, leaving tons of unused screen real-estate for "normal"-length lines; or you get ugly wrapping or annoying side-scrolling. With a limit, it just comes down to picking a number: 40? 80? 132? It turns out that 80 not only has a lovely historical tradition (*wink*) but it's a pretty good compromise between wrapping too often and leaving too much whitespace down the right-hand side of your window. So be kind and wrap your code so it looks nice at 80 chars, or I'll just have to do it for you. :-) Ok, I've said my piece. I'll try harder not respond next time. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
