This coding style is only for hacking on the Vala compiler itself. For your
own projects you can choose any coding style you're comfortable with, of
course.

The Wiki samples mimic the Vala compiler coding style, but with 4 spaces
instead of tabs, in order to save horizontal space and because tabs are not
easily editable in text input areas of browsers like Firefox.

I don't know of any pretty printer tool for Vala yet. However, you can try
if C/C#/Java tools work with Vala source code.
