Subject: Lisp code formatting....
Date: 7 Mar 2003 12:25:47 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b607d812.0303071225.576996cb@posting.google.com> (raw)
I was reading through the emacs lisp manual and came across the
following paragraph:
* Don't make a habit of putting close-parentheses on lines by
themselves; Lisp programmers find this disconcerting.
Why do "Lisp programmers find this disconcerting" ? Do *all* Lisp
programmers find this disconcerting ? I don't.
Once in a while, when there is a sequence of many consecutive
close-parentheses, it may make sense to split the sequence in one
or two significant places.
Isn't this arbitrary ? It does not sound like a standard.
Can Emacs lisp gurus shed some light on this ?
