Better Clojure formatting
The 80-character limit may have come from punchcards, but it&#x27;s still important in 2018. It allows me to have three side-by-side columns of code, and I know I&#x27;m not alone. Even 100-character limit would break similar setups.<p>Furthermore, I personally find a lot easier to read code that is not too spread horizontally. I do not have extensive experience with Lisp or Clojure, but all languages I&#x27;ve worked with will handle a &quot;small&quot; line width of 80 character just fine most of the time.<p>I do recognize this is a matter of personal preference, but please don&#x27;t dismiss the 80-character limit because it&#x27;s old. It may be, but it is still relevant.<p>Other than that, I wholeheartedly agree with the post. I started toying around with clojurescript for the past few months, and the one thing I can&#x27;t wrap my head around is its formatting. Sometimes one space, sometimes two. Sometimes block spacing. It&#x27;s very confusing.
