* Don't leave trailing white space in your code * Don't use tabs * Aim to keep lines under 80 characters * Use the CamelCase variable naming convention * Don't use explicit braces and semicolons
These rules seem reasonable to me, but I would finesse the second point. Whilst tabs are undesirable in code, I do often find it useful to precede _eol_ comments with tabs. "function | guard = body\t\t-- eol comment" Tabs help to align the beginning of such comments nicely; they help to avoid random misalignments due to minor editing of code; and in this location they can never change the meaning of the code.
