Discussing Java vs C# coding conventions, I got an idea:
Geek code for a coding conventions.
Like:
-----BEGIN GEEK CODE-CODE BLOCK-----
GP:java,c,cpp,haskell
Off:2S P:N Name:Camel Flex:2
------END GEEK CODE-CODE BLOCK------

which means:

  • GP:java,c,cpp,haskell - geek of programming languages (listed);
  • Off:2S - prefer 2-space offsets;
  • P:N - place parentheses on new line (opposed to S - same);
  • Name:Camel - prefer camelCase;
  • Flex(0,1,2) - I’m flexible on this and can easily accept other’s conventions.

This will help others to see what you prefer an not (?) to start stupid holy arguing.
