Hi dev@couchdb, To eliminate the need for formatting-related comments and thus unnecessary cycles in PRs, I've invested a little time to see if we could use a formatter on `main` [1]. The PR reformats `.erl` files in `src` and the script [2] included shows that the compiled binaries match "before" and "after". The formatter used in the PR is `erlfmt` [3] which is an opinionated [4] tool so it's more of a "take it or leave it" as-is. (We could try using other formatters if we want in case people want formatting but think the choices `erlfmt` makes are unacceptable.) Some members of the CouchDB dev community already left some great comments on the PR and I haven't seen any strong opposition so far, but I wanted to make sure more people are aware of this. If you have any questions, comments or concerns (or objections), please let me know.
