Am I correct in thinking that in Emacs, only slurp works with strings, not barf?

Paredit is telling me Invalid context for command paredit-backward-barf-sexp in a string - I'd assumed both would work.

@cfleming: Yes, you're correct

@malabarba: Thanks, that seems odd.

Yeah, don't know why it's like that. But There are other ways to spit something out of a string with paredit

And Splice works in strings as well, it seems

exactly

What I usually do, is call paredit-split-sexp before the thing I wanted to barf

which divides into two strings

Right.

and tghen splice it out of the string

Ok, I think I'll implement both, then - I can't see a good reason not to.

@cfleming: play with smartparens a bit as well; in recent years many Emacs users switched over

you might get some good ideas there

@bozhidar: Yeah, I’m planning to check that out, thanks. I particularly like the grouping (i.e. moving map key/val together) etc.

For beginners Nightcode is sooo cool!

@cfleming wait, smartparens does that? Sounds sweet
