Hello,
(Yes, there are more discussions on the development list this week
than normal ... sorry about that.)
At the risk of starting a bikeshed: do we think it is time to raise
the 80 columns limit somewhat?
I would prefer we stick to 80 columns, as it's better for split windows
on one monitor, which I use extensively. It also seems better for
side-by-side diffs.
Cheers,
Jessica
I agree here, I do have a 1200p monitor, but deskbar is there aswell, and
I use bigger fonts to more easily view stuff, I doubt 120 would fit nicely.

At most, 100 wide from me, but that's very, very begrudgingly. I'd be okay
with maybe increasing to 90, but it's still blech. If code is so heavily
indented that you need more than 100 columns, then perhaps you should be
using helper functions, as the code is already likely terrible to read.
Heavily nested branching and loops is just plain bad. And the Haiku style
guide values readability.
But for readable side-by-side, 95 is the most I can manage split screen
when accounting for margins, line numbers, etc.
120 seems plain ridiculous, and is a firm no from me. 100 is too wide, and
90 is starting to get uncomfortable. BTW, 90 for me is equivalent to the
max-width of many web pages designed for proper readability.
We really shouldn't need more than 10 extra characters on a single line.
