Coded Clojure for years, including w/ Paredit and I find Parinfer extremely frustrating as it fights my edits and sometimes creates syntax errors - in the Atom Parinfer in indent mode anyway. Maybe other implementations are better? Or do I just have to "unlearn" a bunch before I can relax and let the magic flow? Cuz as it is, Parinfer makes me nuts.
- juskrey 10y agoSame here. Final formatting is the same, but parinfer significantly decreases options to reach it.
- keymone 10y agothe only issue i've seen with parinfer is that i can get confused when you have multiple forms within single line, it can sometimes inadvertently slurp the rightmost forms and i have to go and insert closing parens manually. that doesn't happen often though, otherwise it's been very smooth for me. i imagine that when one is fluent with paredit and structural editing, parinfer can feel like a step back, but for newbies it is the first thing i will always recommend.
