-Style guide of code hosted on suckless.org
-==========================================
-When it comes to code style questions, it is very likely that individual
-programmers will disagree. It is absolutely fine to use an individual style for
-individual projects, especially if only one developer is involved. However, if
-there are two or more programmers involved in a project, guidelines become
-handy in order to meet the first basic rule we follow:
-
-* Code developed by different individuals should follow a common style among those to found a consistent base.
-
-Thus consistency in the code style being used is more important than any
-particular detail of the style itself. Due to the fact that most of the software of
-suckless.org has been developed by more than one individual, some sort of
-common style found in the code appeared during the past years. This common
-style is described in detail, further on.
-
-C++
----
-C++ was used in the early beginning and has been abandoned for various reasons.
-
-A summary of those reasons is: Nearly nobody understands C++ in all its
-facettes and details. C++ has been designed and evolved to support any
-programming language paradigm and feature invented by programming
-language designers until the OO hype and beyond. This leads to mutual
-exclusive programming paradigms and styles in one language and basically
-destroys the simplicity and clarity of its ancestor C. The usual
-workaround in the C++ world is to stick to certain C++ subsets, like only using
-one calling convention, not using exceptions, not using STL but using libstdc++
-etc.
-
-It took quite a while for some of us to realize that C++ leads to more complex
-software in general, because it provides the feature richness to do so. This is
-especially dangerous if average programmers are involved in a project. In our
-experience it is much more likely that a C++ project driven by average
-programmers will fail, than a C project. The reason for this is simple: C++ is
-hard to deal with when used in all its feature richness.
-
-We don't argue that C++ software performs better or worse than software written
-in C. However we argue that in general C++ software performs poorer than
-software written in C, because of its tendency to complexity and its hidden
-pitfalls like expensive function calls in loops or too many inlines.
-
-All these problems do not happen with C, because C is too simple to be
-misused in our opinion.
-
-So the second rule of this style guide concludes:
-
-* We use C as our primary programming language because it enforces clear and simple software.
