+### Code Style
+
+Some guidelines for good code and commenting style.
+
+#### Commenting
+
+- Comments should not be redundant. Meaning, that if someone with a basic knowledge of the programming languaged can tell at a glance what it does, there's no need to explain. For example, the JavaScript `const fs = require('fs');` does not need to be explained.
+- Don't use personal sign-offs or openings, the code should exist regardless of authors. For example `// maps to emoji`, not `//Colin: maps to emoji`.
+
+#### Further Reading
+
+Google has a [Javascript Style guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/jsguide.html).

 Available continuous sign corpora are extremely limited, containing 4-6 orders of magnitude fewer sentence pairs than similar corpora for spoken language machine translation [@arivazhagan2019massively].
 Moreover, while automatic speech recognition (ASR) datasets contain up to 50,000 hours of recordings [@pratap2020mls], the most extensive continuous sign language corpus contains only 1,150 hours, and only 50 of them are publicly available [@dataset:hanke-etal-2020-extending].
-These datasets are usually synthesized [@dataset:databases2007volumes;@dataset:Crasborn2008TheCN;@dataset:ko2019neural;@dataset:hanke-etal-2020-extending] or recorded in studio conditions [@dataset:forster2014extensions;@cihan2018neural], which does not account for noise in real-life conditions. Moreover, some contain signed interpretations of spoken language rather than naturally-produced signs, which may not accurately represent native signing since translation is now a part of the discourse event.
