- dreish 17y agoI'm glad I took the plunge, too. At first, it seemed like a really bad idea -- far too awkward and unfamiliar for the minor advantage of automatically inserting closing parens. I kept at it mainly out of an attraction to the novel and quirky for long enough to discover that its biggest advantages aren't from not having to type ")" -- they're for things like barf, slurp, splice, and the S-expression-aware kill-line. Whenever I'm programming in a non-Lisp language, I really miss those kinds of editor features that are enabled by having an idiot-simple syntax.
