I tried a bit clang-format since I wanted to experiment with LSP too but it's not for me. While I'm happily using `gofmt' on save for Go, i haven't found something that pleases me enough for C. (also because on Go I gave up at indenting as i wanted, on C not yet) mg in base does a pretty good job out-of-the-box at indending C as you type. emacs can also be tought to follow style(9), except for some nits, quite easily too. p.s. there's knfmt by anton@ too, but I haven't used it extensively yet to comment on it.
