What about the other direction? I don't think it will be very useful to not be able to read the exact code you wrote after the fact. Feels like writing a book but every sentence you enter is instantly rephrased by ChatGPT to sound more convoluted.

I was assuming that each contributor would have their custom rules on what the code looks in their editors. I agree that we should have a different solution so everyone reads the exact code they wrote in the style and format they wrote it...; Scratch all that, the more I think about it that sounds like a very bad idea, what about pair programming, collaboration, being able to talk about some parts of the code or it's design? Back to Go and Rust for me :)
