NSS recently reached this point. Formatting is checked in CI and both David and roc are right about the benefits. We even have a pre-commit hook now that catches errors early. It was only mildly disruptive getting there, but worth it. Firefox is, of course, bigger and more diverse, but I don't see why it couldn't eventually reach the same point. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
