An opinionated formatter plus a smart line counter fix this problem. There's still space for abuse but not enough to overshadow genuine improvements.


How does a formatter affect me intentionally writing more (or less) lines for the sake of reaching a line count?

print([i * 2 for i in range(10)])

vs

squared_numbers = []

for i in range(10):

    squared_numbers.append(i \* 2)
print(squared_numbers)

It's not even a readability thing, assuming list comprehensions don't bother you they're about equally readable


You can write more but you can't write less!
