Yeah, I understood what we were talking about – sorry for not being more clear in my reply earlier. When you said that putting the closing bracket on the same line wouldn't work because of the "lack of Paredit-style editor support" for C-like languages, I thought you meant that the Paredit-style plugins wouldn't work well with/support C-like languages. That struck me as odd, because I use Smartparens when writing Rust, and it works just as well as it does when I write a lisp/scheme. In particular, it handles parens, square brackets, curly braces, and angle brackets just fine (and it even distinguishes between a single quote that's used to start a character literal (which should be paired) and a single quote that indicates a lifetime label (which should not))[0]. I could easily use it to write Rust with closing braces on the same line; the only reason I don't is because it's not the common style in that community. Based on your last comment, I now understand that you're not saying Paredit-style plugins don't _work_ with C-like languages. You're saying that most programmers who write in those languages don't use those plugins. Is that right? If so, I agree that they aren't widely used and that it'd be hard for anyone to use the formatting style above without adopting a plugin. [0]: The only thing Smartparens fails to handle is that it does not recognize that a pipe character is a pair when delimiting the arguments for a closure. I'm sure I could fix either Smartparens or rust-mode to fix that issue but so far I haven't been annoyed enough to bother. [Edited to add a missing close-paren, fittingly enough.]
