## C++ and Python
For C++ and Python, we just follow Chromium's [Coding Style](http://www.chromium.org/developers/coding-style), there is also a script `script/cpplint.py` to check whether all files confirm.
The python's version we are using now is Python 2.7.
## CoffeeScript
For CoffeeScript, we follow GitHub's [Style Guide](https://github.com/styleguide/javascript), and also following rules:
* Files should **NOT** end with new line, because we want to match Google's styles.
* File names should be concatenated with `-` instead of `_`, e.g. `file-name.coffee` rather than `file_name.coffee`, because in [github/atom](https://github.com/github/atom) module names are usually in the `module-name` form, this rule only apply to `.coffee` files.
## API Names
When creating a new API, we should prefer getters and setters instead of jQuery's one-function style, for example, `.getText()` and `.setText(text)` are preferred to `.text([text])`. There is a [discussion](https://github.com/atom/atom-shell/issues/46) of this.
