- Zig fmt is steerable, allowing multiple formatting variations for different syntactic constructs based on existing code style.
- Users can influence formatting decisions, such as adding trailing commas to control line breaks in function calls or arrays.
- The formatter supports columnar layout for arrays, adjusting item arrangement and alignment based on initial line breaks.
- Judicious use of array concatenation can vary the number of items per line for customized formatting.
- Zig fmt is praised for being more effective than other formatters like rustfmt and deno fmt, enhancing readability with blank lines and variable choices.
