Clojurians Log v2
parinfer
(Also posted in #emacs)
I've been trying to get parinfer v3 (aka "smart-mode") to work in Emacs. I've been using it in Cursive.
I've found two implementations:
1. parinfer-mode, the smart branch: https://github.com/DogLooksGood/parinfer-mode/tree/smart
2. parinfer-rust-mode: https://github.com/justinbarclay/parinfer-rust-mode
I've been able to get both up and running, but none of them seem to work like the reference implementation:
https://shaunlebron.github.io/parinfer/demo
A test that I made is to type a ( in front of the {:sum ... map. Both implementations don't automatically "slurp" the hashmap into a pair of parens (ie turning it into
({:sum sum
:prod prod})
@grav I would expect ( to just introduce () unless you are using paredit as well.
That's not how the reference implementation which I linked to, as well as Cursive, which implements paredit smart-mode, behaves
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment
For parinfer-rust, and parinfer-rust-mode, if paredit mode is on it forces parens to be balanced before parinfer operates on the buffer. Therefore, parinfer won't infer that it should wrap the following sexp.

Thanks, that makes sense! I'm pretty new to Emacs, and I apparently am not able to disable paredit in a simple way with prelude, so I am unable to test it.
Ah, apparently it's called smartparens, and yes, disabling it does seem to make the specific scenario work!
Awesome glad to here it 🙂
If you always want smartparens turned off in a particular major-mode, you could use something like:
(add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook (lambda () (smartparens-mode -1)))
Perfect, thanks! 🙂
I assume that this holds true for smartparens as well.
