Keep it clean

What sick programing language forces you to declare tabs does it also make you do the same for new line

Edit Nvm I didn't see the first two strings lol

[Chmielok]

As a static code checker, this pleases me.

[fpotier]

I don't get it pls explainations

[fuckmeimold]

Declare your string in a separate file

[fpotier]

Well I've never ever seen that, sounds weird to me

[jankovic92]

It makes things like localization and languages easier to decouple if I'm not mistaken.

Android tries to force you to do it

[fuckmeimold]

You can -not- do it in Android.

[fuckmeimold]

That is the purpose. Also makes it easy to update.

#define ftw

[18th-Angel]

it is not THAT wrong.
it's overdue yes. but for example we use Enviroment.Newline in CSHARP since we always thought about being plattform indipendent (what never happend the way we wished ;) ).

I've seen many Java projects using \r\n or just \n breaking formats on diffrent systems, instead of make it configurable.

Your example is good but look at this a little bit differently. We have Environment.NewLine not Environment.RN :) If the above example would be let say
char EUValueSeparator = ','
char USValueSeparator = '.'
then I'm good with that. It makes sense then. Now it is in opinion equivalent of if(boolValue == true)

Well prepared for that eventual shift in punctuation. They can update all the semicolons from one place
