Hey, it'd be great if elm-format could format glsl blocks and style them properly.

Have you thought about this, @avh4?

Research direction
Examine elm format's source code (likely Haskell) to understand how formatter extensions are implemented, particularly how language blocks are parsed. Look for existing examples of handling embedded languages, e.g., JavaScript. Review comments in the issue for any design discussions. Evaluate the feasibility of integrating a GLSL parser or reusing existing GLSL formatter libraries.
