I *hate* people using more than 79 chars per line! ;) They look
horrible in emacs
and horrible on print. I never found the need for longer lines. The
limit also acts
as a deterrent against

I don't think I've ever seen Python code printed out
Hello,
for me the 80 (or 79) char border when writing code is a fundamental
rule. Being at University and having to document each project on paper,
it is a must do. i.e. I get code from fellow scolars, that have 160
chars per line, and to get that on paper is disgusting, especially in
C/C++. So pl

Thanks for the responses.
The point about 132 columns is good. Pretty much any printer will
handle that today, though I reserve the right to change my mind about
the utility of 17cpi print after I'm 50. Hopefully, all printers will
be at least 1200dpi by then. ;-)

Hi,
There was a coding standard where I worked and the intention behind this
requirement was to make the code printer friendly. Printing code source
with lines longer than 80 chars greatly hinder readability on paper.

For me, 79 characters per line... would basically make my code a LOT
harder for me to read and manage.
I mean, a basic structur
