I’m in the same boat. Outside of a professional setting atw style is the only way I write code. I find code easier to manage when I can see more of it at once. I like to use this style in JavaScript as well.

How do you write with this style in JS?
For my own amusement I tried this a couple months ago and I 100% agree. I found my code to be more engaging to develop and understand (function names encoded into 3 chars, structure names encoded into 4 chars, primitive types are a capital letter, etc).
It is like a game you play with your brain to recall how your code works. And, it reminded me about studying 6809 assembly in college, where it was easy to memorize every instruction mnemonic and what it meant.
I just don’t know if I would show it to someone at work, but for my own prototypes and experiments, I like it.
