Points:
1) that 2nd formatting still includes whitespace that would
be illegal
(e.g. every place but between 'void' and 'print' and in the
strings
litereals).
2) The *point* is to turn code into an unreadable mash on a
single line.
3) The entire proposal is satire.
Ahh, i had the impression from the list that all whitespace tokens were
referring to a single statement line, not as a whole.
Guess the only way to make it so spaces (1 or more) were whitespace,
would be if we still use a fixed 80character width screen for our
editors, then leftover whitespace becomes formatting. But it seems
sufficiently stupid to do that, filesize being the largest part.
I know all of C appeared in it's formatting, to allow you to drop all
whitespace (with minor exceptions) into a single line, which is why /**/
comments were used and c++'s // ones were added later. Although fun to
do a whole lot on a single line, i don't know if i would want to.
/*C code following the follow proposal; tested and works. Not bad for
165 characters of pure code.*/ isprime(int n){int cnt=2;if(n<2)return
0;for(;cnt<n;cnt++)if((n%cnt)==0)return 0;return 1;} main(){int
cnt=2;for(;cnt<100;cnt++)if (isprime(cnt))printf("%d ", cnt);}
Sorry, but you still have unnecessary spaces in 3 places ;)
