People are complaining about rustfmt, but it is effectively unmaintained (feddit.dk)

There was recently this article about Linus Torvalds' issues with rustfmt, which prompted others to voice their agreement with his sentiment online.

Yesterday someone pointed out how rustfmt is effectively unmaintained with basically no activity on the repository for months.

The contributors graph shows a similar story - there is essentially no development happening on rustfmt, it seems.

TBH for personal projects it's almost perfect already. It produces consistent readable code. But yeah it's often not very "mergeable", which is much more important for massive projects with thousands of active committers.

@balsoft @SorteKanin Even if it has been almost perfect in production for years, it must be adapted to follow Rust's new features, there are still some experimental settings, and some features are not completely functional, notably formatting code in macros.

What I would give to have my attribute macros and their meta/params be formatted when they get unruly 😔
