yes. but not all hope is lost, maybe AGI helps/wipes us out!
- happymellon 3y agoConsidering that we lost tabs because some peoples text editors and web browsers rendered them as 8 spaces, and drew the wrong conclusion, I don't have much hope for your plan. However I would be completely on board if we could agree on a formatting configuration file that people could check into a repo for IDEs to pick up.
- turboponyy 3y agoI think we've mostly agreed on editorconfig[1], though it doesn't concern itself with language-specific formatting - it's even built into a lot of editors. For language-specific formatting, you can run formatters in pre-commit-hooks and CI. Treefmt[2] can help with that if you want to cover a lot of languages in your repo. 1. https://editorconfig.org/ https://editorconfig.org/ 2. https://github.com/numtide/treefmt https://github.com/numtide/treefmt
- happymellon 3y agoI'll have to check out EditorConfig. It looks like IntelliJ supports it, so that could cut down on the amount of work required to get it in a project.
