Re:Formatting code should be unnecessary by jitl on Monday September 08, 2025 @12:51AM (#45164727)
I prefer storing plain text and displaying locally preferred syntax, to a degree.

With some expressions, like lookup tables or bit strings, hand wrapping and careful white space use is the difference between “understandable and intuitive” and “completely meaningless”. In JS world, `// prettier-ignore` above such an expression preserves it but ideally there’s a more universal way to express this.
