I'm happy with pretty much any coding formatting style as long as there's an automated tool to apply it.
I do wonder whether there's a limit though -- are there styles that are completely awful even if you have a tool?

Compiler error messages is such a deep topic. Even in rustc, a mature compiler that invests effort in diagnostic quality, I find interesting issues every few months.

Difftastic 0.69 is out! This is a pretty big release:
* Semantically insignificant commas are now ignored
* Difftastic now respects .gitattributes
* Added assembly support and improved 13 other languages
