Crosscut

A consequence of structural code editing, is that code is auto-formatted. There's really no choice about it, because you're not editing text that could be manually formatted one way or the other. You're editing the syntax tree directly, which contains no spaces, tabs, or newlines. And the editor needs to decide how to format that.

At some point, I expect the auto-formatting logic to make good decisions in most situations. But for now, I optimize for simplicity: Every single expression gets a separate line, and children are indented. So a function call could look like this:

function
    argument

(I'm saying could look, because it actually looks a bit different right now. But going into that would add extra complexity here, and not help get my point across.)

Tomorrow, let's compare that to how it looked with postfix syntax, and what problems I encountered.
