Formatter

Programming På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-23

Tool that automatically formats your code to a style standard — no more debating tabs vs spaces in every review.

Prettier (JS/TS), Black (Python), gofmt (Go), rustfmt (Rust). Runs on save or commit. Different from a linter which finds bugs, not just style.
