It's so painful to watch people (experienced LISPers and newbies alike) manually balancing parenthesis and spending inordinate amounts of time to do the simplest tasks like pulling an expression up into a let or wrapping/unwrapping blocks. I've never once seen someone programming Clojure without paredit and thought to myself "wow - that guy/gal really has this down". The scope of this statement is limited by the sadly small number of great Clojure coders I've had the pleasure of watching work. I would truly love to see some counter examples. If doing it by hand works for you, more power to you. I think you are doing it wrong, but my personal opinions thankfully don't really affect much of the world outside my head. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
