I typically split my IDE into two side-by-side panes, the 80 char limit
works pretty well once you factor in the side panes too. I've worked on a
project with a 100 char limit, and that's about the point where even my 30"
monitor needs side scrolling.
I think Colin pretty much nailed it with his r
Jay,
Does bigtop use a line length limit at all? I was mostly hoping that we could
update to using a limit that was more appropriate (IMO) to modern IDEs, like
100-120 chars perhaps?

im glad you've started this thread.
1) i like the idea of dropping the 80 char limit !
2) and indeed, we've now adopted it in ASF BigTop, where we try to take
queues from hadoop when possible.

Historical issues aside, the reasons are:
* When doing vertical, side-by-side diffs, you need some reasonable
length length standard or else it Just Doesn't Work. And vertical,
side-by-side diffs are how most people prefer to do code reviews.
* Really long lines are visually difficult to follow.

Limiting text to a particular width isn't just a byzantine coding convention.
It arose in programming from much older practices, and it has persisted through

Arun,
I use my IDE split vertically all the time on projects without strict line
limits and I have never had a problem seeing the code from multiple classes in
such a setup.
I can certainly setup my IDE to only do 80 characters a line, although I think
it hurts readability in many cases where
My 2 cents :
I actually like the lower char limit. Since most of the time, I end up
having to switch between classes, I end up splitting my screen vertically
and having multiple files open. for some reason, I find splitting
vertically is better for readability than horizontally.
In anycase, my IDE

Hear hear! I fully agree with that one.

I respect immensely the contributions Doug has made to many Apache projects,
but I don’t think that should be a reason to force everyone to write code as if
our screen sizes can’t support more than 80 characters.

More formally, we follow the sun java coding standards which follow
the 80 character limit. There is recent discussion over this, so it is
a very relevant comment.

Can someone explain to me why on earth we care about limiting line length to 80
characters? Are there hadoop developers out there working from teletype
terminals? Can we perhaps update this limit to something sane, like 120 chars?
