However, “practicality beats purity”, and the practical downsides in actual use—increased tedious effort and cognitive burden, increased learning curve (especially for those who aren’t native English writers), difficulty of consistently enforcing, impossibility to check or automate with tooling, introducing choppy, poetry-like flow when reading, greater total vertical space consumption, more complex to review/suggest—weight strongly against it. From our experience, OSPL is a much better solution in practice, which seems to be the case for others as well, as the authors are currently not aware of any large projects that have formally adopting and consistently used semantic breaks.
Using the same rationale as this proposal:
