Okay /prog/ let's have a code-off!

The most fun way of carrying text over long lines, typical to that of your favorite    , in the language of your choice.

Let's kick off with some simple FIOCthp:


# -*- coding: cp1252 -*-
MAX_LINE_LENGTH =  60
a="""The list methods make it very easy to use a list as a stack, where the last element added is the first element retrieved (“last-in, first-out”). To add an item to the top of the stack, use append(). To retrieve an item from the top of the stack, use pop() without an explicit index. For example:"""

def cut_lines(words,result,line=''):
    if len(words):
        if len(words[0])>MAX_LINE_LENGTH:
            result.append(words.pop(0))
        else:
            test = line+words[0]+' '
            if len(test)<=MAX_LINE_LENGTH:
                words.pop(0)
                cut_lines(words,result,test)
            else:
                result.append(line)
                cut_lines(words,result)
    else:
        result.append(line)
       
def carry_lines(a):
    words=a.split()
    result=[]
    cut_lines(words,result)
    return result

for element in carry_lines(a):
    print element

A rule for generating the next value has no implied infinity except to someone who wants to beg the question of infinity in the first place.

Infinity and the axiom of choice are the highest levels of bullshit ever imagined by anyone outside Bjarne.
