Solid list. I'll disagree this.

We use Black for Python, Prettier/Standard for Typescript. Code is readable across developers and there is no question about how it should be formatted.

I read it as people who stress over what the style should be, not people who think there should be a style.

I have my opinions on what should be in .clang-format, but that's debatable and beside the point. HAVING a .clang-format and using it is a different question and something very important (obviously you should use go-fmt or rustfmt or whatever is applicable, but clang-format covers most of it)


Hmm. Good point
