In my opinion the hardest style rules to accept when trying to use this guide are:

  1. Do not create "assertion libraries" like `assertEqual(x, y)` [1]
  2. Leave testing to the Test function [2]
  3. Intialisms (HTTPURL, IOS, gRPC) [3]
  4. Function formatting [4]

For the record I'm not saying I disagree with these. I just think that folks coming from other languages have a lot of built in muscle memory to do it other ways.
