The only correct answer
python user 😔
Imagine having to use {}; instead of
Let me explain...
OTBS is the only way!
no, stealing code is
If all your code isn't on one line you aren't a real programmer.
I prefer to newline after every symbol for better readability
I wonder if you could have it all on one column.
OP is clearly a python user incapable of understanding punctuation
Embrace the brace, you won't be alone with a semi-colon(...e)
I might have a personality disorder, but yeah seeing most code/languages (stuff more substantial than the image here) makes me think there's something really wrong with them or me (or both) because I don't see how you get into that. Though I know in many cases it probably could've been written differently.
I like 1 language*, but it uses whitespace. I mean that's not the defining factor, but there aren't really different styles like this (though there is spaces for indentation depth, and I usually went with 1 space instead of the standard 2 so there is that).
*=it's somewhat niche and I never really started with it because... userspace reasons I guess is the best way to put it
Nim?
I'm not sure if you guessed it or not because I've posted about it a few times in different contexts (thus why I try not to name drop now). I mean much of it is on me as well, change a few things about me and I might've done more with it.
Nah, it's just the only language I know with Python syntax, other than Python
Allman or gnu, rest are fucking bonkers
K&R FTW
Obviously!
Lol, you deranged lunatic.
Putting the opening curly brace of a code block on the same line that defines the conditions the code block will run under is bonkers?
If we're judging purely on readability then I think Allman probably has the edge, here. You can see at a glance where the encasement starts or ends in a vertical column on the far left. Of course, that's a moot point if the programmer's color coding is set up to where it is obvious.
There's an asymmetry to it that always left me uncomfortable.
Nope, Haskell was just a bad dream I had. It was just a dream, not real, that's not real. I'm OK.
Haskell is nice. This code style... not so much
A distant voice:
Learn you a Haskell for great good
There there, the monads can’t hurt you here
Reject the code block. Embrace the modularity. If you were going to write a code block, write a function instead.
If you must avoid code blocks, that means you can only use one line. I don't think you can be Turing complete if each function can only call one function. I don't even think you can get a context-free grammar, Chomsky normal form at least allows a variable to expand into two variables.
Please never bring up CNF again. I'm a year out of college, two years out of finite automata, and I still shudder when it's brought up.
