Code golf, eh? I hadn't thought about that. For my taste legibility is much more important (as well as speed, memory usage, &c.).

The argument about teaching is interesting, though there is also a case that teachers should teach students to write legible maintainable code, and do that partly by example. Here, at comp.lang.postscript, without live teacher-student interaction, legibility also meritorious.

Anyway, I have not been dissuaded from my current practice.


Note: original post has "on" where "one" was meant.
