πŸ“– Rule details ​

While traditionalists might find the idea of center or right-aligned code unconventional, many innovations in software development were once deemed unorthodox. It's important to keep an open mind, recognizing that seemingly aesthetic choices can have deeper implications for cognition, creativity, and code readability. For developers accustomed to right-aligned languages like Arabic or Hebrew, this alignment might feel more intuitive, bridging the gap between natural linguistic processing and coding.

πŸ’‘ Examples ​

js
   // βœ… Correct
     if (a) {
      b = c;
function foo(d) {
      e = f;
        }
        }
js
     // βœ… Correct
         if (a) {
           b = c;
function foo(d) {
           e = f;
                }
                }
