Prettier is one of my favourite pieces of software! I only wish they had a binary that doesn’t rely on Node.js
Why?
Are you avoiding NPM as well?
Seems like a curious requirement for JS development

#12I have been looking for, but haven't found, a similar package for Java projects. Ideally my team can add it as a save-hook for everyone using IDEA, then we can have a pre-commit hook that checks to ensure compliance. Would be eternally grateful for anyone that can point me in the right direction!

#13Doesn't it defeat the idea of "one formatting to rule them all" if they change the rules?

I've been using Spotless, which has been working well enough.

It will be difficult to find adoption if you can’t make room for options like removing unnecessary semicolons.

#17finally you can run `npx prettier --write .` and get a folder formatted without any installation or configuration. This is a great decision. Congratulations on the release team!
npx is fine, just remember not to use it for things like CI without pinning the version of Prettier (`npx prettier@2.0.1 ...`).

#19Did they change an option to disable lineWidth? In 1.* it was not possible, which was my single biggest issue with Prettier. Many times it made code less coherent, due to forcing a few lines to be collapsed into one. See Prettier example in ESLint section of "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Types & Tests", https://p.migdal.pl/2020/03/02/types-tests-typescript.html#e... .
I’ve learned that the benefit of Prettier outweighs its cost in this regard.
At first I disliked things about Prettier. For example, indents violate eslint’s “indent” rule with multiline ternary alignment. However, I just turned off those eslint rules and stopped worrying about it b/c Prettier’s format is “good enough” and saves me a ton of keystrokes.

At work, we use clang-format for java and c++.
