 llakala | i still don't use a formatter for my config because i can't stand any of them | 15:25:10 |
| llakala | nixfmt is addicted to indentation | 15:25:16 |
| llakala | i generally think nixfmt is good at what it was designed for (being a nixpkgs formatter) | 15:26:18 |
| llakala | but little things, like this:
{ lib, pkgs, config, ... }:
becoming this:
{
lib,
pkgs,
config,
...
}:
| 15:29:00 |
| llakala | and this:
let
# let content
in {
becoming this:
let
# let content
in
{
| 15:30:21 |
| llakala | are the kind of things i can't stand | 15:30:35 |
| llakala | my biggest issue was fixed recently, which i'm thankful for | 15:31:04 |
| llakala | (strings with comments for injections don't get indented anymore | 15:31:19 |

 aftix | I use alejandra | 15:31:24 |
| llakala | i can't deal with alejandra not putting spaces around list elements | 15:31:56 |
| aftix | wdym? like between the first/last element and the brackets? | 15:33:30 |
| llakala | before:
{
x = [ 1 ];
}
after:
{
x = [1];
}

 Katalin 🔪 | that’s how lists are formatted pretty much in every other language though, I prefer that style. however I don’t like it not putting spaces inside {} haha | 15:48:45 |
 piegames | you can't reasonably have that in Nix, unfortunately | 18:04:18 |
| Katalin 🔪 | oh? why not? | 18:05:54 |
| Katalin 🔪 | part of the parser design that makes this not work? apparently the parser is pretty cursed | 18:06:54 |
