# Best Practices
concurrency_guidelines:
  - "Try to not maintain state in the class"

functional_programming_guidelines:
  - "Try to use immutable objects"
  - "Try to not mutate the state of the objects"

data_oriented_programming_pillars:
  - "Separate code from data"
  - "Represent data with generic data structures"
  - "Data should be immutable"
  - "Use pure functions to manipulate data"
  - "Keep data flat and denormalized"
  - "Keep data generic until it needs to be specific"
  - "Data integrity is maintained through validation functions"
  - "Data access should be flexible and generic"
  - "Data transformation should be explicit and traceable"
  - "Data flow should be unidirectional"
