Angular module structure (proposal)

Everyone who's reading this, please leave your opinion/ideas/proposals as a comment for a better world!

Background

Most of you guys read Josh' proposals to make components more reusable, I think. Now, reading through this proposals definitely gives a feeling that this is the right way. Anyways, If you haven't read it yet, you should.

So Josh shows us, how angular apps can be structured in a better and more reusable way. Reusability is a very important thing when it comes to software development. Actually the whole angularjs library follows a philosophy of reusability. Which is why you able to make things like:

The Zen of Cypher

Write functions() in lower case, KEYWORDS in upper.
START each keyword clause
ON a new line.
Use either camelCase or snake_case for node identifiers but be consistent.
Relationship type names should use UPPER_CASE_AND_UNDERSCORES.
Label names should use CamelCaseWithInitialCaps.
MATCH (clauses)-->(should)-->(always)-->(use)-->(parentheses)-->(around)-->(nodes)
Backticks `cân éscape odd-ch@racter$ & keyw0rd$` but should be a code smell.

Data Serialization Formats

JSON, MessagePack, and Google's Protocol Buffers are all awesome. Here's how they're awesome on different client environments and how to use them on your rails env.

JSON: http://json.org/
MsgPack: http://msgpack.org/
ProtoBufs: https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/

	win.rootViewController = UINavigationController.alloc.initWithRootViewController(CountriesController.new)
	win.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor
	win.makeKeyAndVisible
	end

	* This is a global set of hooks that catch all $log messages sent out by the
	* application. Currently they are simply passed off directly to console.log
	* but this could be updated later to allow them to be stored locally, sent to
	* a server etc.
