The Prettier Bounty is a challenge to write a prettier-compliant pretty printer in Rust
$22k is pretty nice. Through I have no idea what “the prettier JavaScript tests” even means.
Is there a unit-test bootstap project someone could download that verifies this requirement? I’m already too confused deciphering what the contest even is
If you can do it in 2-3 months it’s worth it, else you’re probably not getting paid enough
It looks like a bunch of people from biomejs are already working on this:

Not sure what they’re going to do with the money if it’s a team effort though
Split it maybe? After all, they’ve started before any prize was available for that, so it’ll be a nice bonus
Prettier is a Javascript code formatter, so it seems the challenge is to rewrite it in Rust.
Wow, they really did not make that clear at all on the contest description.
Yeah, “pretty printer” to me means some kind of pretty output library, like for terminal applications. I’d call this a “code formatter,” but whatever.
I guess this is what happens when your community doesn’t standardize on something early on. I guess I take
cargo fmt
for granted.
