Burnfmt (Go, deprecated)

Warning

This Go build of burnfmt is deprecated and no longer maintained. Use the burnfmt that ships with Burn.

The Burn toolchain installs burnfmt, a formatter written in Burn itself, next to burn, burni and burnc:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/burnlang/burn/master/install.sh | sh

It always matches the installed Burn version, so there is nothing extra to install or keep in sync.

Moving over

1. Remove the Go build: rm "$(go env GOPATH)/bin/burnfmt"
2. Install Burn with the command above, which puts burnfmt in ~/.burn/bin
3. Keep using the same commands:

burnfmt file.bn              # print the formatted file
burnfmt -w file.bn           # format in place
burnfmt --check src/*.bn     # list files that are not formatted, exit code 1 if any
cat file.bn | burnfmt        # format standard input

It accepts the same flags as the Go build (-w, -l/--check, -h, -v), so scripts and editor setups keep working. burn fmt does the same without a separate command.

See the burnfmt documentation for details.

Existing installs

The Go build still works: it runs burn fmt under the hood and prints a deprecation notice to standard error. It gets no new features or fixes.
