My style guide is: - all variables should use the Greek alphabet first, then ascii - for i ∈ eachindex(x) is encouraged over for i in eachindex(x) - no (ascii) numbers in function names: a₁ is preffered over a1

The most important one in my eyes: never force users of your package to type non-ascii characters.
