> We have huge screens, we're not in the 80s anymore

Huge screens are useful to show more content e.g. multiple buffers, ancillary information (like docs).

I’m not interested in wasting that additional work space in emptiness because you can’t keep to reasonable line lengths.

I use 4 spaces and short lines because it naturally limits how far I can drift rightwards before I need to refactor or rethink what I’m doing.

Thought I’ll readily confess that rust can be mildly annoying there: lots of things require additional blocks, and the affordances of function scope around split borrows can make extracting utility functions awkward.
