Hi, I experimented with Atom's Beautify to see if I could automatically format DML using their R format.
Since DML is quite similar to R, I found that making a few minor tweaks to DML made it possible to run DML scripts through the R formatter. DML vs R syntax differences (there may be more): 1) DML has input parameters preceded by $ 2) DML has parfor 3) DML for/parfor can take unrecognized parameters such as "check=0" 4) DML functions can return multiple values 5) DML function signatures are different from R 6) certain # comments at the end of lines seem to produce %InLiNe_IdEnTiFiEr% errors using Beautify Does anyone happen to know if there's a way that DML could be automatically formatted (using any tool) without needing to tweak the DML before/after formatting due to the syntax differences? BTW I took a look at this because currently our DML format is only defined as having 2-space indentations (see http://apache.github.io/systemml/contributing-to-systemml#dml-code-format), and it would be nice if we had a standard format that could automatically be applied to DML using a tool.
