What's stopping you? Is the code incompatible with newer versions of emacs?

#5In terms of Emacs packages, thoughts about the best lisp parens package?
I've only tried paredit and smartparens. I ended up going back to paredit due to some annoyances with the latter but unfortunately I can't remember what (I should make a note of such things). I'd be interested to hear from someone who switched from paredit to one of the newer ones.

#6I'd love to see a couple of screencasts of people effectively using these. I use spacemacs in evil mode, but I find smartparens infuriating. I don't know if this is because it doesn't suit me, or it's just no good, or if (most likely) I don't know how it's supposed to be used and haven't learnt the keys.
Any advice on getting off the ground for sexp editing (racket mostly) in a modern semantic way would be greatly appreciated.

my favorite sexp editing algo is parinfer, but afaik it hasn't been ported to emacs yet and definitely not packaged for spacemacs. i was first exposed to parinfer when i was playing around with light table, which is where i always end up if i'm spending a lot of time writing lisp/scheme

John Wiegly's talk on elisp hacking includes a bit: https://youtu.be/RvPFZL6NJNQ It's unfortunately a low quality recording but if you can stand it it's a treasure trove of tips for doing elisp.

There is at least one implementation of parinfer for emacs by now.

I used paredit before, then I switched to smartparens. I have also tried parinfer, but I didn’t like the way it behaves. I share the sentiments of this blog post https://github.com/noctuid/parinfer-notes
