It's surely more than enough to Haskell, Python, Perl, C++ and other
very concise and expressive languages. But for Java and the likes it
may well be just barely enough for a single *identifier* alone!! :P

The question of which column width is "right" is not a

to prefer 117 to 80.
The line length that we prefer is similarly unenlightening.

Hi, i hate those html forms that show you [haskell,python] code in a narrow
box that is suposed to make the code clear, but it darkens the code by
cutting it.
Maybe having all lines shorter helps, but the "narrow window" effect is
chasing us nonsensely.-
