This catches some common spelling errors, but is *not* an exhaustive spell-checker. The only false positive is "rouge" in Gemfile.lock, which is why I'm excluding that file. True positives are in the change, and it does catch the "langauge" typo I keep making, which zygoloid fixed for me in a few spots. False negatives are: - virmc - Announcemented - propsal For comparison: - cspell (https://www.npmjs.com/package/cspell) is too aggressive and has a small dictionary - Caught the false negatives, but many false positives, including 'LLVM', 'roadmap', 'Carruth' - https://github.com/lorenzwalthert/precommit has a spellcheck, but config looks ruby-specific

Principles
Some language goals will have widely-applicable, high-impact, and sometimes non-obvious corollaries. We collect concrete language design principles in this directory as a way to document and clarify these. Principles clarify, but do not supersede, goals and priorities. Principles should be used as a tool in making decisions, and to clarify to contributors how decisions are expected to be made.
A key difference between a principle and the design of a language feature is that a principle should inform multiple designs, whereas a feature's design is typically more focused on achieving a specific goal or set of goals. The principle can help achieve consistency across those multiple designs.
Note that these principles seek to establish both the approaches the project wants to pursue, as well as those we want to exclude.
