@fiore HOLY SHIT GNU STYLE IN THE WILD
@reia ITS NOT EVEN PROPER GNU STYLE THE INDENTATION IS ALL WRONG
@phnt@fluffytail.org @fiore@brain.worm.pink @reia@linfan.moe I don't use GNU style in my code either, but I do wanna ask; Do people just not like the GNU style because they are not used to it? Or is GNU style objectively bad in some way?
@SuperDicq @fiore @reia It is ugly and inconsistent which leads to more brain processing needed to parse something as simple as indentation. The half-indentation also fucks with my brain way too much since I like 1 tab/8 spaces for indentation.
Like look at this monstrosity
Like look at this monstrosity
#include <stdio.h>
int
main (void)
{
int i = 1;
if (i == 1)
{
printf ("Hello world!\n");
return 0;
}
else if (i != 1)
{
printf ("unreachable\n");
return 1;
}
}

1 tab/8 spacesI think you're the weirdo here.
@newt @fiore @reia @SuperDicq Imagine needing to emulate another editor to perfect your own editor. The state of emacs.
@phnt@fluffytail.org @newt@stereophonic.space @fiore@brain.worm.pink @reia@linfan.moe Emacs is a lisp interpreter that has a text editor built into it.
emacs has no text editor, tho with enough lisping some emac users have managed to cobble vim emulation as a feature of the emacs operating system.
@phnt@fluffytail.org @fiore@brain.worm.pink @reia@linfan.moe A tab should be four spaces. Default vim config is just simply wrong.
@SuperDicq @fiore @reia tab = 8 spaces has been the standard after typewriters became obsolete and is standard in UNIX since BSD KNF which is documented K&R. GNU Emacs tab width default is also 8.
