# Code Style Guide Code is written once by its author, but read and modified multiple times by lots of other engineers. As most bugs actually come from future modification of the code, we need to optimize our codebase for long-term, global readability and maintainability. The best way to achieve this is to write simple code. Kyuubi's source code is multilingual, specific code style will be applied to corresponding language. ## Scala Coding Style Guide Kyuubi adopts the [Databricks Scala Coding Style Guide](https://github.com/databricks/scala-style-guide) for scala codes. ## Java Coding Style Guide Kyuubi adopts the [Google Java style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html) for java codes. ## Documentation Style Guide Kyuubi adopts the [Documentation Style Guide](../doc/style.md) for documentation.
