style.md

This is just a guideline: think of this as a general rule of thumb, not something to just do regardless of contextes.

It's a much trimmed version of tibbe's haskell-style, which some similar key points and an emphasis on just being a rule of thumb, and not emitting a good/bad judgement value on differing styles.

General idea

• General indent with 4 spaces
• Indent where with 2 spaces
• List/Fields commas on beginning of line
• Keep line length to a reasonable value; anything above 120 chars should be multi-lined.
• Align Fields and values on multi lined statements.

Examples

Where indentation:

function a = something
  where
    something = ..

Commas:

myList =
    [ largeValue1
    , largeValue2
    , largeValue3
    ]
  
StructConstructor
    { a = 1
    , b = "b-value"
    , c = 1.34
    }

Alignment:

data Struct = Struct
    { field1          :: Char
    , superFieldName2 :: String
    , something       :: Int
    }

myCallToFunction parameter1 parameter2
                 anotherLongParameter3
                 anotherVeryLongParameter
                 (nestedValue 123
                              "abc"
                              12.435)
