On: C-style vs. Python-style syntax: which one would you prefer for your next programming language?

[FalconNL]

Yeah, that works for really short methods, but for anything even a little more complex you're just replacing vertical scrolling with horizontal scrolling.

[mdakin → FalconNL]

That's true for one-liners in any language.

[FalconNL → mdakin]

Not necessarily. In Haskell the oneliners are frequently short enough to fit on one screen.

For example, I recently needed to do some Run-Length Encoding:

    import Control.Arrow
    import Data.List
    
    encodeRLE :: (Eq a) => [a] -> [(Int, a)]
    encodeRLE = map (length &&& head) . group
    
    decodeRLE :: [(Int, a)] -> [a]
    decodeRLE = concatMap (uncurry replicate)
