Yeah, I don’t really understand the hatred for parentheses. Lisp famously has parentheses everywhere, and it looks a bit noisy at first but the precedence and scope is never ambiguous and with Vim you can always do % to find the match.
- chamomeal 1y agoI would even say that the parens are a huge benefit of lisp. I guess that’s obvious though cause parens are like half the syntax. But once you get used to it: - you don’t really notice the parens anymore (definitely not the trailing ones anyway) - you get the advantages of structural editing. So many nice shortcuts for moving stuff around. After working in clojure, typing typescript feels so clunky. How do you focus the next argument? Jump to the enclosing function scope? Yank the body of the closure? You just have to actual navigate to those things and select them, so uncouth!!
