I don't know if posts to usenet (where I lurk this list) go through to
the mailing list, but I've found Acme's paren matching to be
sufficient. The bear is indentation, since to make it work out it's
necessary to use a fixed-width font (something I'd rather not do) and
adjust it by hand, which needs to happen more often and by greater
degrees than in a language like C. The chief issues being:
(list (list 'a 'b 'c)
(list 1 2 3))
; ^
; These need to line up.
; These need to line up.
; V
(let ((a 3)
(b 4))
(+ a b))
; ^
; Should be two spaces or so.
