Venutian’s own formatter: whitespace cleanup that never changes what code does.
Released v1.0.0 · 2026-09-28use "stdlib/fmt.ven"Venutian's own source code formatter, written in pure Venutian rather than carried over from another language's tool. It reformats a source file's spacing, indentation and layout to one consistent house style, the same style the standard library's own source already follows, so a formatted file and the standard library's own code read the same way, line by line.
