 ### Implementation requirements
 
-- The unit of an implementation we expect is a [**Nim module**](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#modules). Although the main goals of this repository are educational, the module form mirrors a real world scenario and makes it easy to use the code from this repository in other projects.
-- First line must contain the canonical title of the module prefixed by double hashes (`## Title Of The Module`). This title is used in this repository's automation for populating the [Directory](DIRECTORY.md).

+  * An overview of use cases.
   * Recommendations for when to use or avoid using it.
   * Comparison with the alternatives.
   * Links to source materials and further reading.
 - Use intuitive and descriptive names for objects, functions, and variables.
 - Return all calculation results instead of printing or plotting them.
 - This repository is not simply a compilation of *how-to* examples for existing Nim packages and routines. Each algorithm implementation should add unique value. It is fine to leverage the standard library or third-party packages as long as it doesn't substitute writing the algorithm itself. In other words, you don't need to reimplement a basic hash table ([`std/tables`](https://nim-lang.org/docs/tables.html)) each time you need to use it, unless it is the goal of the module.
-- Avoid importing third-party libraries. Only use those for complicated algorithms and only if the alternatives of relying on the standard library or including a short amount of the appropriately-licensed external code are not feasible.
-- The module has to include tests that check valid and erroneous input values and the appropriate edge-cases. See [Documentation, examples and tests](#documentation-examples-and-tests) below.

 ### Nim Coding Style

 We want your work to be readable by others; therefore, we encourage you to follow the official [Nim Coding Style](https://nim-lang.org/docs/nep1.html).
 
 - Help your readers by using **descriptive names** that eliminate the need for redundant comments.
-- Follow Nim conventions for naming: camelCase for variables and functions, PascalCase for types and objects, PascalCase or UPPERCASE for constants.
-- Avoid single-letter variable names, unless it has a minimal lifespan. If your variable comes from a mathematical context or no confusion is possible with another variable, you may use single-letter variables. Generally, single-letter variables stop being OK if there's more than just a couple of them in a scope. Some examples:
+- Follow Nim naming conventions: camelCase for variables and functions, PascalCase for types and objects, PascalCase or UPPERCASE for constants.
+- Avoid single-letter variable names, unless their lifespan is minimal. If your variable comes from a mathematical context or no confusion is possible with another variable, you may use single-letter variables. Generally, single-letter variables stop being OK if there's more than just a couple of them in a scope. Some examples:
   * Prefer `index` or `idx` to `i` for loops.
   * Prefer `src` and `dst` to `a` and `b`.
   * Prefer `remainder` to `r` and `prefix` to `p`.
-- Expand acronyms. Prefer `greatestCommonDivisor()` to `gcd()`, as the former is easier to understand than the latter, especially for non-native English speakers.
+- Expand acronyms. For instance, use `greatestCommonDivisor()` rather than `gcd()` for better clarity, especially for non-native English speakers.
 
 #### Compilation
 
-- Compile using the stable version of the Nim compiler. The 2.0 version is not out yet, but it is a good idea to compile against the development version of the compiler to check your implementation is reasonably future-proof.
+- The code should successfully compile using the stable version of the Nim compiler. It's a good idea to check compilation against the development version as well for future-proofing.
 
 #### Types
 
-- Use the strictest types possible for the input, output and object fields. Prefer `Natural`, `Positive` or custom [subrange types](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#types-subrange-types) to unconstrained `int` where applicable, use `Natural` for indexing.
+- Use the strictest suitable types for input, output and object fields. Prefer `Natural`, `Positive` or custom [subrange types](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#types-subrange-types) over unconstrained `int` where applicable, use `Natural` for indexing.
 - On the other hand, write generic code where appropriate. Do not impose arbitrary limitations if the code can work on a wider range of data types.
 - Don't use unsigned numerical types (`uint` and its sized variants), unless wrapping behaviour or binary manipulation is required for the algorithm.
 - Prefer the [`Option[T]`](https://nim-lang.org/docs/options.html) to encode an [optional value](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_type) instead of using an invalid value (like the `-1` or an empty string `""`), unless it is critical for the algorithm. It may be also fitting if you are looking for the equivalent of "NULL" (default value for pointers)[^null].
 
+#### Result return
+
+- Prefer the expression-based return over using the implicitly declared `result` variable[^result].
+- Use `return` keyword only for changing the control-flow of a function. Minimize such cases.
+
 #### Exceptions and side-effects
 
 - Raise Nim exceptions (`ValueError`, etc.) on erroneous input values.
-- Use [exception tracking](https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#effect-system-exception-tracking). Right after the module-level documentation, add a `{.push raises: [].}` module pragma. This enforces that all `func`s don't raise any exceptions. If they do raise at least one, list them all with the `raises` pragma after the return type and before the `=` sign like this: `func foo(bar: int) {.raises: [IOError].} =`.

If they do raise at least one, list them all with the `raises` pragma after the return type and before the `=` sign like this: `func foo(bar: int) {.raises: [IOError].} =`.
 
 #### Documentation, examples and tests
 
-- It is incited to give a usage example after the module documentation and the `push raises` pragma in the top-level `runnableExamples` block.
-- Use the [`std/unittest` module](https://nim-lang.org/docs/unittest.html) to test your program.
+- Consider including a usage example after the module documentation and the `push raises` pragma in the top-level `runnableExamples` block.
+- Use the [`std/unittest` module](https://nim-lang.org/docs/unittest.html) to test your code.
 - We recommend using a `when isMainModule:` block to run tests. This block runs when the module is compiled as an executable. See the [minimal example](#minimal-example).
