Coding conventions

Start reading our code. You'll get the hang of it. We optimize for readability:

We indent using tabs
We use camel case for all function and variable names
We ALWAYS put spaces after list items and method parameters ([1, 2, 3], not [1,2,3]), around operators (x += 1, not x+=1), and around hash arrows.
This is open source software. Consider the people who will read your code, and make it look nice for them. It's sort of like driving a car: Perhaps you love doing donuts when you're alone, but with passengers the goal is to make the ride as smooth as possible.
Formatting will be done with gofmt and all PRs must pass vetting and pipelines before being considered for a merge.

Branches

Let's try to keep a consistent branch naming scheme.
