When I read text I prefer it to use the lessons

of typography and not be overly wide, lest my saccadic

motion leads my immersion and comprehension astray.

    However when I read code I do not want to scan downwards to complete the semantics of a given expression because that will also break my comprehension and so when a line of code is long I'd prefer for it to remain long unless there are actually multiple clauses

    and other conditionally chained

    semantic elements

    that are more easily read alone
