Prettier

Prettier 3.9 is released with major parser upgrades across multiple languages. The Markdown parser migrates from remark-parse v8 to micromark v4 for better CommonMark and GFM compliance. The YAML parser upgrades to yaml v2, GraphQL gains support for GraphQL.js v17 features, and Flow now uses a new Rust-based (oxidized) parser that is roughly 40% faster. JavaScript and TypeScript formatting sees dozens of bug fixes, especially around comment placement, no-semi mode behavior, union types, and optional chaining. Other improvements cover CSS, SCSS, HTML, Angular, JSON, and CLI fixes including EditorConfig worktree handling and cache-strategy content bug.

Prettier 3.9: New Parser Foundations and Formatting Improvements · Prettier

Always appreciate these quality-of-life releases. Small formatting fixes add up when you’re using Prettier every day.

Interesting! always good to see faster responses

The comment placement fixes are the unsung heroes here. If you’ve ever had Prettier move a <code>// @ts-ignore</code> three lines away from where you put it, or stick a comment inside a union type in a way that made no sense, you know how frustrating those edge cases can be. The fact that they’re still chipping away at comment handling in v3.9 shows how hard it is to get formatting right. Also, no-semi mode behavior fixes are clutch for the “semicolon wars” crowd. The EditorConfig worktree fix is a lifesaver for monorepo setups where different subprojects have different formatting rules.
