# Single quotes being faster is hardly measurable and only affects parse time.
# Enforcing double quotes reduces the times where you need to change them
# when introducing an interpolation. Use single quotes only if their semantics
# are needed.

  EnforcedStyle: double_quotes

# We do not need to support Ruby 1.9, so this is good to use.
Style/SymbolArray:
  Enabled: true

# Mixing the styles looks just silly.
Style/HashSyntax:

# has_key? and has_value? are far more readable than key? and value?

Style/ParenthesesAroundCondition:
  AllowSafeAssignment: false

# A specialized exception class will take one or more arguments
# and construct the message from it. So both variants make sense.
Style/RaiseArgs:
  Enabled: false

# Fail is an alias of raise. Avoid aliases,
# it's more cognitive load for no gain. The argument that fail
# should be used to abort the program is wrong too,
# there's Kernel#abort for that.
Style/SignalException:
  EnforcedStyle: only_raise

# { ... } for multi-line blocks is okay, follow Weirichs rule instead:

Style/BlockDelimiters:

# because the method is too long.
