Automatically enforced deterministic formatting is the best, there’s nothing that beats it. The productivity in just being able to format on save knowing that the code will be in the ideally formatted state, along with the anti-bikeshedding properties of this strategy, makes it unbeatable.
gofumpt and gofmt are the best. One of the reasons if I have a choice I’ll code in go. I heard rumblings that rust was working towards having rustfmt be a standard crate.
Go is in a good position, yeah. JavaScript has prettier, which is nice. Java has google-java-format. Python has ruff, which is quite good. Kotlin has ktfmt, which I believe made a mistake with their standards by not following the standard formatting guidelines for the language, but whatever. Uniform and deterministic for the win.
