WhatsApp/erlfmt
This system is an Erlang code formatter named erlfmt, designed to automatically format Erlang source code according to a strict, opinionated style guide. It provides a command-line interface to format files, check for style compliance, and handle edge cases like comments and Unicode. The project also includes comprehensive documentation of the formatter's design decisions and empirical analysis of comment usage across major Erlang codebases to justify its formatting rules.
