Sorry you’re right, it would have been Paredit.
I guess my point is that syntax that works very well with a correctly configured editor used by someone who knows what they’re doing is going to have a higher barrier to entry than a language that can be easily edited in Notepad.
- Jtsummers 4y agoLisp is no harder to edit in notepad than any other language. It is just a text editor and lisp source is just text. And paredit is a misfeature for most people, turn it off. That should have been the real takeaway. It is not part of a ”correctly configured editor” and it isn’t installed or activated by default anyways so is easy to avoid.
- wrycoder 4y agoYeah, all you have to do is keep track of the number of closing parens in your head. It’s a lot easier when the editor highlights matching pairs.

- kazinator 4y agoI don't know of any language that can be easily edited in Notepad. Not even English.
