I sort-of do write source code in one long line: I use an autoformatter so when I want to insert something, I usually just write it in one long line and hit save. If I have a syntax error the line won’t get formatted and then I have to stare at it.

That said, I think whitespace-based error recovery is a good idea and would probably still help in my case.
