As if projects haven't used to have a coding style. What's so hard in saying that code should be formatted with Black, yapf, ruff etc, beats me.

Literally within this thread someone has already suggested using ruff instead of Black and nobody here are colleagues.

It's a silly argument and the lowest form of bike-shedding on the level of tabs vs commas. People with no other substantive contributions use formatting as a beard.

The first one to choose it (whatever it happens to be) wins and that's the end of it. If it isn't the end of it you've got a talent issue.

Guess what other low-level bike-shedding argument 'go fmt' obviates? That's right - tabs vs spaces!

I know you meant this as a slur, but the implication is Go works better than other languages for those who have what you call "a talent issue"

Bad example. Ruff's formatter has the same style as Black. It's documented as a "drop-in replacement". The difference is mostly performance.

In any case, that's a single decision the project lead takes once.
