We have the rule that commenting on syntax is disallowed. All syntax must be enforced by tooling (prettier, linter). This speeds up code review, because you review what actually matters (patterns used, regressions, bugs) and reduces friction between team members. Also a common syntax is learned way faster, as you get the feedback right in your IDE (or you don't even have to waste brain energy on it, in case of prettier).

If a syntax is not enforceable via linter because the rule does not exist, then you either write your own rule, or have to let go of the idea and have to surrender that there is a bit of wiggle room in expression.

This is a huge deal, I've tried to implement this anywhere I've had any clout and it always saves a ton of time on reviews. Automated lint, formatting and coverage requirements (just not 100%!) cut so much wasted time out of reviews.

Of course, the flip side is organizations that want to go crazy with Sonar/Snyk/etc, where every PR ends up being dragged down by over-opinionated tools.
