- Style Guide
- Design Principles
- Consistency vs adherence
- Community contribution guidelines
- Open source contributions are allowed to start small and grow over time
- Generic code is preferred unless code is known to be specific
- Internal types should match the types used by users when possible
- Trait definition and adherence to generic interface is preferred when possible
- Macros should be limited and only be used for syntactic sugar
- Errors should be caught as early as possible, and error messages should be made contextually clear for newcomers
- Subpackaging and interface packages is preferred over conditional modules via Requires.jl
- Functions should either attempt to be non-allocating and reuse caches, or treat inputs as immutable
- Out-of-place and immutability is preferred when sufficient performant
- Tests should attempt to cover a wide gamut of input types
- When in doubt, a submodule should become a subpackage or separate package
- Globals should be avoided whenever possible
- Type-stable and type-grounded code is preferred wherever possible
- Closures should be avoided whenever possible
- Numerical functionality should use the appropriate generic numerical interfaces
- Functions should capture one underlying principle
- Internal choices should be exposed as options whenever possible
- Prefer code reuse over rewrites whenever possible
- Prefer to not shadow functions
