@programming.devthanks to wasm any language is a browser running language.
Theoretically yes, practically you may have to deliver a whole runtime depending on the languagey making websites even bigger and slower to load initially. And unless it's a webapp with data processing on the client the perceived performance benefits may be negligible.
Most IDEs support automatic code formatting, and doing so on save. Or have it as a github hook.
At least in the future copilot could navigate you to the settings in the different places 😅
Maybe they see OP as the best candidate for an audit or code review, who has good enough skills, has time available, and is an internal resource
Can you give some examples of other tools for the job you'd rather use, which can be self hosted?
Keeping the clean version around seems dangerous advice.
You know it won't get maintained if there are changes / fixes. So by the time someone may needs to rewrite the part, or application many years later (think migration to different language) it will be more confusing than helping.
Automatic code formatter with company style rules for more consistency across all developers.
