It’s probably my biggest gripe with nim. I hope they drop it and provide a tool like gofmt to get everyone’s code into the same style.

Why though? With this feature you're able to import a library in a style you don't like and still be able to use it in whichever style you prefer.

As a frequent Nim user, I've tried it a few times and it doesn't seem to do much, other than reflow lines in not very logical places. I'd prefer an uncompromising formatter like Black/Prettier/StyLua.

gofmt doesn't seem to ensure consistency in naming styles.
