About:
Air is a high-performance code formatter designed specifically for the R programming language. It provides fast and consistent formatting by parsing code into a concrete syntax tree, ensuring reliable output. The tool prioritizes speed and adheres to opinionated style rules to streamline code maintenance.

Key Features:

Blazing fast formatting written in Rust
Opinionated style rules for consistency
Incremental formatting support
CLI tool for easy integration

Use Cases:

Enforcing consistent code style in R projects
Automating formatting in CI/CD pipelines
Quickly reformatting legacy R codebases

Alternatives:

styler – styler is an R package offering customizable styling, while Air prioritizes speed and strict consistency via a standalone binary.
formatR – formatR focuses on tidying R code but is generally slower and less strict than Air's Rust-based implementation.
