It looks so nice and is so readable.

I disagree. It doesn't follow the code flow.

When debugging or analysing the code, you don't find out until the very end of the line whether or not you actually needed to read the line. By that point, you've had to read it anyway.

I find it quite jarring to read, for all but the simplest of expressions. Then again, I find the same thing for lists of English instructions, too.

unlink($file) && crack_password() && sacrifice_firstborn( $child ) && +take_over_world( $mwahahahaha ) if ( $ignore_all_that_just_kidding);

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
