Ah but there's the irony.
Everyone would like to stick to the standard formatting rules. Well... except for that one little idiosyncratic thing that they just won't sacrifice.
Then black comes storming in to enforce conformity. Well... except for that one little idiosyncratic thing the author of black just can't bring himself to adhere to.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of the approach in general. I use things like paredit-mode and aggressive-indent-mode and whitespace-mode and I've just set up emacs to use black together with blacken-mode, but with blacken-line-length set to 80.
