Hi gc,

I realized we all posted solutions without giving you feedback as requested

Some feedback:

1. My style is to eliminate parentheses as I find it harder to see the
substance of the function

(# - [: +:@(+/) '('&i.) '((()'

is equivalent but with fewer parentheses

I sometimes prefer trains over bond - again, just style

(# - [: +:@(+/) '(' i. ]) '((()'

2. The usage of i. is not intuitive as you are seeking 1 if the character
is ). I would be more explicit about that

(# - [: +:@(+/) ')' = ]) '((()'

3. In my version, I would remove the cap

(# - ')' +:@(+/)@:= ]) '((()'

4.  I considered eliminating the ] but that resulted in more parentheses
and I thought it was less clear

(# - +: @ (+/) @: (=&')') ) '((()'

but we can move the bond to the right and parentheses aren't needed around
it

(# - +: @ (+/) @: =&')' ) '((()'

compared with

#-(+:@(+/@('('&i.)))

I think this would be my final restyling of the concept of your version

- sent from my mobile and tested with jandroid so not tested thoroughly
