This, 10 times. Assembler really taught me on how to make the flow of the code easy to determine while reading it and to group subprocedures in functions so that they are easily debuggable and identifiable.

It also gave me serious OCD on how to indent and align the code, not helped at all by my discovery of selection by column.

C++
unsigned long int  variable_name1    = default_val;
char               var_name2         = default_val;
static int         var3              = default_val;

function_call_long_name(arg1,    b, c);
function_short         (a   , arg2, c);

var1               = a + b;
variable_long_name = foo + bar;

Code like this may look overly large on the horizontal axis but it is clear and allows changes or copy-paste even with column selection.
