2 spaces ftmfw. I want to see as much on the screen as possible. Horizontal scrolling is bad.

Who still uses 8? Isn't that like a COBOL thing?

Linux kernel still uses 8 I believe. IIRC wide indentation+narrow pages were chosen partly to encourage using functions and avoiding deep nested logic.

		Just add a few zero width spaces. It'll be FINEEEEE :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space Btw, at an old job, some joker developer added or copied 1, and broke the whole testbed. It was quite funny. I came over to the sourcecode hosted in Gitlab, ran my regexes that look for naughty characters. Found it after it ate the devs for half a day.
