    So…basically a prettier. I’ve never seen them improve the readability of my code. If I want pretty code, I just write pretty code :shrug:

    All the prettiers do is just 'eff up my deliberate indentations and break the editor’s ability to collapse code sections.

      Same. There is a logic to all code choices. Even basic things like the placement of empty lines to group code into ‘idea blocks’ massively helps with readability. This idea block touches x, and this next idea block touches y.

      A tool can’t perform perform even basic logic like that.

        If you have a lot of semantic breakpoints (like the end of a concept) that don’t line up with syntactic breakpoints (like the end of a method or expression body) your code probably needs to be refactored. If you don’t, then automatic code formatting is probably all you need.

      Wouldn’t this fail to compile due to the missing semicolon, and if that is corrected only ever return true?

        Compile? This is JavaScript! Semicolons are optional, didn’t you know?

      function is_equal (x, y) {

      if (is_equal(x,y))

        print("x is equal to y")
      
        return true;
      

      return false;

      }

      Fixed it for you

        function is_equal (x ,y) {
            if (Math.Random() > 0.38) {
                console.log(x + " is equal to " + y)
                return true
            }
            
            return false
        }
