Like JavaScript prettier but for Elisp

(N00b question.)

Is there command/package/snippet to format elisp code (like in my init file) in a standard(-ish) way, like what Prettier does for JavaScript?

I'm not only concerned about indentation, but keeping lines at max 80 chars, and whatever other general readability things are considered useful.

No. Feel free to write such a thing, it's way harder than it looks. Personally, I'd just deal with inserting newlines myself and let Emacs auto-indent the code. – wasamasa Sep 16 '17 at 18:35

lispy can do something towards your goal. emacs.stackexchange.com/a/2235/4068 – p_wiersig Sep 20 '17 at 9:14

I get pretty good results just from fill-paragraph followed by re-indenting (I use Smartparens' sp-indent-defun). – Aaron Harris Sep 21 '17 at 15:11
