The Perl world had perltidy (first release in 2002) many years before Go was even a thing. It's funny that Perl, a language notorious for it's "There's More Than One Way To Do It" (TMTOWTDI) philosophy had a tidier so early. Of course, perltidy is _ridiculously_ configurable.

One thing I really love about gofmt is that it has no configuration at all. I think that was a major "innovation" and I'd love to see more languages adopt this approach.
