Has anyone done any comparisons to other code formatters of other languages? Or even other code formatters within Dart?

Wish I could gain more context on how big an arena of these types of programs. I'm a bit lost as to how important code formatters and beautifiers were until reading more on the difficulty of writing such a program by Mr. Nystrom.

For javascript, there's been jsbeautifier [1], jsfmt [2], uglify.

JSCS [3] added autofixing a while back for most whitespace rules, and ESLint has just begun autofixing as well [4]
