Layout & Indentation
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
+ Avoid trailing spaces. They suck!
|
||||
The #1 complaint about Lisp?
|
||||
"It's too weird looking with all those parentheses! How do you even *read* that?"
|
||||
And they're right! Lisp was originally much too hard to read.
|
||||
Then they figured out indentation. And it was glorious.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Indentation shall be 2 spaces (no hard tabs), except when matching
|
||||
the indentation of the previous line.
|
||||
The Three Laws
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: clj
|
||||
Here's the secret: *Real Lispers don't count the brackets.*
|
||||
When reading Lisp, disregard the trailing brackets--those are for the computer, not the human.
|
||||
As in Python, read the code structure by indentation.
|
||||
These are the three laws that make this possible.

||||

|
||||
(if (<= n 2)
|
||||
n
|
||||
(+ (fib (- n 1)) (fib (- n 2)))))
|
||||
1. Brackets must *never* be left alone, sad and lonesome on their own line.
|
||||
|
||||
;; Still okay
|
||||
(defn fib [n]

(if (<= n 2) n (+ (fib (- n 1)) (fib (- n 2)))))

|
||||
|
||||
2. New lines must *always* be indented past their parent opening bracket.
|
||||
|
||||
+ Inline comments shall be two spaces from the end of the code; they
|
||||
must always have a space between the comment character and the start
|
||||
of the comment. Also, try to not comment the obvious.

Comments
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Prefer docstrings to comments where applicable--in ``defn``, ``defclass``, and at the top of the module.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``(comment)`` macro is still subject to the three laws.
|
||||
If you're tempted to violate them, consider discarding a string instead with ``#_``.
|
||||
|
||||
Semicolon comments shall start with some number of semicolons
|
||||
and have a space between the semicolons and the start of the comment.
|
||||

;;;; Footer
|

|

|

Header comments shall not be indented, and shall appear only at the toplevel outside of any form.
|
||||
They must always begin with at least three semicolons--usually ``;;;`` for minor and ``;;;;`` for major headings.
|
||||
(Emacs recognizes these as headers.)
|
||||
|
||||
Form comments shall be indented at the same level as the form they're commenting about;
|
||||
they must always start with exactly two semicolons ``;;``.
|
||||
Form comments appear directly above what they're commenting on, never below.
|
||||
|
||||
General toplevel commentary shall not be indented;
|
||||
they must always start with exactly two semicolons ``;;``
|
||||
and be separated from the next form with a blank line.
|
||||
For long commentary, consider using a ``#_`` applied to a string for this purpose instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Margin comments shall be two spaces from the end of the code; they
|
||||
must always start with a single semicolon ``;``.
|
||||
Margin comments may be continued on the next line.
|
||||
|
||||
When commenting out entire forms, prefer the ``#_`` syntax.
|
||||
But if you do need line comments, use the more general double-colon form,
|
||||
since they're not headers that should appear in the outline,
|
||||
nor are they margin comment continuations that should be indented automatically.

Coding Style

============
|

|

+ Do not use s-expression syntax where vector syntax is intended.
|
||||
For instance, the fact that the former of these two examples works
|
||||
is just because the compiler isn't overly strict. In reality, the
|
||||
correct syntax in places such as this is the latter.
