#guix what's a good formatter program for Guix Guile code? I can't bring myself to look at `guix style`'s output.

@bhoot I don't think we have anything better than guix style at the moment. Would be cool to have something like clj-kondo and cljfmt for Guile, but we are not yet here.

@abcdw Ah that sucks. Is there a generic scheme formatter we could apply to guile files?
@bhoot I'm not aware of any (but I didn't try hard to find).

@bhoot For what it's worth, whenever I want to contribute something to Guix, I use guix-devel-mode (from emacs-guix), which formats things as they expect. It also helps highlighting gexps. It seems to work. I don't remember having had to modify patches because of style.

I never use the «guix style» command.

@luis_felipe Thank you. I tried to use emacs for a while, but couldn't get used to it. No plans to try again for the time being.
