I don't have an opinion on this (I've never used JuliaFormatter), it just reminds me of the discussion we had in KernelFunctions about JuliaFormatter. We've decided not to use it since it was not clear how and to what extent it differs from Invenia's BlueStyle and we were afraid of breaking all version history at once (now the objective is to incrementally adopt BlueStyle).

JuliaFormatter provides the option of setting up different styles using a configuration file. Are there any attempts of creating a JuliaFormatter configuration following BlueStyle?

As far as I can tell, the configuration file only allows to specify the options of format_text listed in the docs, but not a custom style. The only alternative style supported so far seems to be YAS Style.

No problem, happy to stick with the BlueStyle. Let's wait and see whether someone will add BlueStyle in the near future -- it looks relatively straightforward to add BlueStyle to JuliaFormatter, similar to YAS.
