Style guide linter

[Paulo Matos]

Hi,

I found the style guide a really great idea and generally very useful (although it's a shame the lack of content on the section of classes).
I have started a small script to check source code style based on the style guide. Simple things like spaces at the end of lines, lack of newline at the end of file, lines longer than 102 chars etc. However, I would like to know if there's anything already out there before I try to get more complex features implemented.

Kind regards,

At least for those three, DrRacket does the 102 thing for you and git
does the line/file ending thing.

Well, I thought of writing one but what came about was this:

which isn’t a style guide but an essay on first-class classes.

As Robby says, some very basic style guide thingies are available in DrRacket. Many are not. 

Leif A. has implemented an indentation checker that takes into account the preferences somewhat. 

Combining all these pieces into a style checker tool would be __really cool__.

Oh, yes: I agree with *very cool*!
