## Coding Conventions |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Naming |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Use a `zerodark-` prefix for all public names. |
|
|
|
- Use a `zerodark--` prefix for all internal names. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Docstrings |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Write meaningful docstrings for all functions and vars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Document all functions and variables as directed by `checkdoc`. |
|
|
|
- Consider using [Flycheck](https://github.com/flycheck/flycheck) to automate |
|
|
|
`checkdoc` while you're editing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Common Lisp functions |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use `cl-lib` instead of `cl`. The `cl` library pollutes the global namespace and |
|
|
|
its usage is therefore discouraged. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Use `cl-lib`, which adds prefixes to all cl function names |
|
|
|
- Use [noflet](https://github.com/nicferrier/emacs-noflet) instead of `flet` |
|
|
|
when you need to dynamically rebind functions. |
