[Software Engineering at Google] CH8 Style Guides and Rules

less than 1 minute read

We maintain separate style guides for each of the programming languages used at Google
- Many of our style guides have external versions, which you can find at 🔗 Styleguide
At a high level, all of the guides have similar goals, aiming to steer code development with an eye to sustainability
At the same time, there is a lot of variation among them in scope, length, and content.
Programming languages have different strengths, different features, different priorities, and different historical paths to adoption within Google’s ever-evolving repositories of code
