I'm curious if there are any Java code formatters that are specifically written in Rust or Go. I think it would be interesting to explore alternatives to the more common ones. Also, I'm open to suggestions if there are good Java formatters in general!

That's an interesting question! I haven't come across any Java formatters built in Rust or Go specifically. Most of the popular ones are in Java itself or other languages like C++. What’s the reason you’re looking for Rust or Go? Just curious if there's a specific functionality you're hoping to achieve?
Also, if your main concern is a good formatter for Java in general, there are tools like Google Java Format or Prettier, which work well across various IDEs.
I don't think there are any well-known Java code formatters made in Rust or Go, but they could be out there! On the other hand, for general Java code formatting, check out formatting tools like IntelliJ IDEA's built-in formatter or Eclipse's formatter. They’re pretty good, especially when your dev team is split across different IDEs.
Would love to know what your team decides!
Yeah, having a consistent formatter could really help with the IDE chaos! You might also want to try out Spotless; it integrates with Gradle and Maven and can handle multiple formats.
