If you're talking about style checking generally, I definitely think linting and style checking is important for readability and light error checking. I use pylint for python, shellcheck+shfmt for POSIX shell scripts, and I appreciate how formatting in pretty built into Rust.

I have not found a C/C++ tool yet that I like, which is unfortunate as people can do some horrible stuff with whitespace in those languages.
