Research direction
Start by examining how atom beautify currently handles other language beautifiers, for example, the JavaScript or HTML beautifier. Look at the existing plugin structure and see if there is a generic way to add new languages. The issue has been discussed in comments, so review the thread for any proposed approaches. Since the repository is migrating to Unibeautify, consider if this feature should be contributed there instead.
