I use 80-100 characters per line for code, for the simple reason that it gets tiresome to read longer lines of code, and otherwise I cannot fit two source files side by side on a full-HD display. Not into SSH/Vim editing sessions on a remote server of 100+ char files either.

100 is what I like. I hope 120~40 characters per line is picked up when 1440p displays start becoming the norm.

Actually the line length is an universal limitation (whatever medium we are using) https://baymard.com/blog/line-length-readability …

That's talking about solid, uninterrupted blocks of text where the text needs to be narrow enough for one's eyes to be able to find the start of the subsequent line. Code has never worked like that.

80 characters fits half my screen at a resolution I can read and allows me to have another tool on the other half. There are many reasons 80 characters is still a very reasonable target to aim for.

I love learning about misguided reasoning. This one is fun. In a newspaper/article/book/website, your eyes need to whip from the end of the line to the start of the next line. It turns out there is a clear max distance before it becomes difficult and we need to re-home. /1

However, in those mediums, lines don't have different indentations--the starts of lines don't have different shapes. As soon as you add shape to the mix, lines can be MUUUUCH longer and we can insta-re-home. /2

Besides, it's not like each line of a newspaper is artisanally crafted. They write in these things called "paragraphs" and software flows it into the appropriate space.

Interesting. It's sort of like the reflow my editor has had since the late 80s.

Side by side diffs in a legible font on a monitor oriented the correct direction for text work. Low-key accessibility issue.
