I think people are focusing on the wrong part of Jakob's reply. Focus on
the "if your line is too long, it's probably a symptom of a too complicated
expression" part, not the "line-length limit doesn't matter" part.
I am very rarely exceeding 80 columns. For example:
var h http.Handler
h = handlers.LoggingHandler(os.Stderr, http.HandlerFunc(lh.LoginHandler))
mux.Handle("/login", h)
h = http.HandlerFunc(lh.AddReferrerHandler)
h = auth.IsReferrer(h)
h = auth.IsAuthenticated(h)
h = auth.Trace(h)
h = handlers.LoggingHandler(os.Stderr, h)
mux.Handle("/add-referrer", h)
Personally, I find that much more readable anyway…
