Nope, I wrap them in BACON.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Since when usage of unnecessary symbols has started improving readability? And aren't we suppose to consistently try to minimize amount of code we write?
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly. Curly braces are noise. Languages with good syntax don't even have them.
|
|
|
|
|
Agreed. Superior languages such as VB.NET don't have stupid braces. 
|
|
|
|
|
I really had in mind ML and Python
|
|
|
|
|
Languages like VB.NET - where they realize the user cannot comprehend the beginning and end of a statement lest it be spelled out for them.
You don't have to remain left-out, you know! Just start to program in a language the doesn't presume your IQ consist of one or two digits.

Readability is one reason. There is another one in my opinion, extensibility. We never know whether we'll need to insert a second statement, considering that programming (and thinking) is an iterative and adaptive process.

Hahha Yeah, the fact that we're writing our code in stone stops us from adding a pair of braces around new block of code.
And if someone has trouble remembering to add braces after inserting new lines should consider changing career.

It's not that someone has trouble adding braces concerns me. That is taken care of by the compiler. Some developers tend to closes up their code (and mind) at the first iteration of implementation. As a side note, in reality, I didn't find many cases where one statement is enough.

What a crock of horsesh*t.

Apparently we're not living in the same realities then.

Good thing we're not working togather.

Yes, but only if other things are equal, i.e., we don't decrease readability, maintainability and reliability.
Now, as it happens I don't consider the omission of parentheses is that big a deal. But if others feel it decreases readability and maintainability then that would trump "less code is better."

I always wrap single line statements.
I also always put them on a seperate line to make it easier to read.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
