Style guide

The main goal is to have a cohesive style where examples in different languages can easily be compared, as opposed to following the most popular styles for each language.

• document syntax: Markdown
• code indentation: four spaces
• naming convention: single-word lower-case names
• string literals: preference for single quotes over double quotes
