Parinfer: Simpler Lisp Editing


Parinfer - simpler Lisp editing

The hope is to make basic Lisp-editing easier for newcomers and experts alike, while still allowing existing plugins like Paredit to satisfy the need for more advanced operations. I think the biggest win is its potential to quell fear of managing end-of-line parens by enforcing a direct driving relationship with indentation. Haml, Slim, Jade — comparing these indented-templating languages to Clojure's Hiccups is what made me realize Lisp close-parens could be inferred from indentation.
