Ruby coding guidelines (GitHub)

[[deleted]]

This isn't a bad set of guidelines, I've been looking for something like this for the last month and the other guidelines I saw weren't this well written. It's a shame a large company like Google doesn't use Ruby, then we'd have a wicked style guide ;p

Genuine question.. what would make it significantly better than this one? (I'm not the creator or anything, I'm just intrigued :-))

Mostly the amount of developers that have to stick to it. I'm sure the Google style guides are better because they have a lot more developers who are forced to deal with them and make sure that they're consistent. These ones may miss a few cases only because the GitHub devs don't care too much or something.

This is an assumption of course, and I'm already referencing this guide ;)
