Good question.
Smartparens is actively maintained, which for me is an attractive "feature" when evaluating any tool that is to find a prominent place in my workflow. Also, its extensible design allows it to be used with languages and data formats other than lisp/scheme dialects, so it has a broader reach than paredit.
As for wrangling sexprs in, say, Clojure, I think paredit and smartparens are one equal footing. I still stand by my original statement inasmuch as I think smartparens is a worthy successor to paredit.
- weavejester 12y agoThanks for the answer. Have you tried paxedit? If so, how does that compare to smartparens?
- michaelsbradley 12y agoI have not tried paxedit, but it looks intriguing and I will give it a spin at some point. Have you tried it? If so, what do you think of it with respect to paredit?
- weavejester 12y agoI haven't yet, but I intend to when I get some time. I was hoping to find someone else to give me an opinion on how it compared to paredit and smartparens, before I tried it out :)
