Imagine trying to read that tho. Suddenly English is formatted vertically.
I’m going to set my terminal width to 1 character. That way my “lines” of code count goes way up.

Isn’t some of Japanese writing vertical? Might help me learn.

Yeah, Japanese is written right to left, top to bottom. Traditionally, at least.

Imagine trying to read that
Kernel code is very often a series of short words, and very often formatted to take a lot of vertical space (i.e lines of code). It can be hard to read, especially when it’s a short code that corresponds to a longer function or location; but with practice we can cope.
tho
See? You’re expecting people to do it already. And kernel code confirms to the grammar a lot more than American 'english.

I wasn’t trying to suggest that it would be impossible- it’s obviously not. Just that it would be a difficult adjustment.

That’s the kind of thinking that a Sociopathic Oligarch could get behind, which is entirely the problem. Gaming and/or hacking the system is preferable to doing things properly. They want to be “disruptive,” even when it’s ill-advised.
