My project uses quite a few languages. C++ is the most prevalent language. Unfortunately, C++ formatting is a favorite bikeshedding topic. We had joked that the only solution was just to use all the styles to make everyone happy.
voidFoo(boolcondition){{{if(condition){{{std::cout<<"The condition is true.\n";}}}else{{{std::cout<<"The condition is false.\n";}}}}}}
Is there not a great alternative for C++? github.com/rishirdua/awesome-code-... lists a couple but they don't look all that promising. Prettier is probably going to be more focused on web development so I doubt they'll be adding C++ any time soon.
It's been so long since I've done any C++ but I'm surprised there isn't anything good out there after all these years. Could be a good project idea.
There is a tool that we're using called clang-format. It does a respectable job at formatting. The problem isn't having a good formatting tool, the problem is reaching a consensus as to what the formatting should be.
All I know, it won't be my preferred formatting style. Because my C++ formatting style is very non-mainstream.

Clang-format works great with VScode BTW. It's included in the standard C/C++ extension with sensible default settings although you can use your own or reuse popular styles (e.g. LLVM). I use it on all my projects and it made my life so much easier, formatting C code manually is such a PITA.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I use JavaScript Standard Style.
