How it got here

2015–2019 · Platform expansion and tooling modernization

This period focused on modernizing the project's infrastructure by migrating CI workflows, upgrading build dependencies, and introducing Docker and GraalVM native image support. The team expanded platform compatibility to include JavaScript and improved regex handling for cross-platform consistency. Additionally, the documentation and website were migrated to Docusaurus, and comprehensive benchmarking suites were added to measure performance across different formatting styles.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 3 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 91a0a11c4e — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
