and the biggest problem is that a strong bound is screen/display size --- any code chunk which won't fit on a single screen becomes hard to follow (which direction does one scroll next?) and if one does the obvious of declaring modules, then one runs into the wall of text which one was presumably trying to escape from --- just each word is wrapped up in pretty boxes and decorated with lines.

My take on this has always been that we don't have an answer for the question:

for more complex projects --- though that latter usually with a special-purpose library I've been working on: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview
