which is better?

print('Hello World')
return_to_ship()
for_each(alert, monsters_in_area)

print 'Hello World'
return_to_ship
for_each {alert} monsters_in_area

>>2

I'm surprised. But I have to admit that the second has less clutter and is easier to read at a glance.

It might swing once the code becomes more complicated.


item_t complex(algorithm) {
  function(has, lots, of(nested, calls))
  and(things)
  but()
  I(wounder, how(binary + operators + will / show * up))
  return c
}


item_t complex algorithm {
  function has lots of nested calls
  and things
  but
  I {wounder} how {binary} + operators + {will} / show * up
  return c
}
