Code Conventions

[Lars Francke]

This is an old thread but it's still relevant.

Is there any chance we can get Andreas' version published? It's been a
DRAFT for years, there have been multiple discussions and I think he
distilled most of them down into his current document.

We can obviously keep discussing but there will always be differing
opinions and we'll never update the old conventions.
