Having used DrRacket quite a bit lately, I do not find its handling of parens to be particularly good. Regardless of whether I set it to auto-close each opening paren or not, I constantly find myself with a missing paren or an extra paren, or an incorrect mix of closing ))]))] somewhere.

Yes, paredit is a bit of a pain to get used to at first, but it really does remove a whole slew of issues around parentheses in code, and it really does make you a lot more productive, especially once you learn the structural editing commands (I am surprised at how many times I use paredit-convolute-sexpr to help reorganize code - I'm almost at the point of binding it to a key sequence!). -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
