Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Nicholas D Steeves <nsteeves@gmail.com> Package name : smartparens Version : 1.11.0 Upstream Author : URL : https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens License : GPL-3+ Programming Lang: elisp Description : auto insertion, wrapping, and navigation of ()s, delimiters, and tags for Emacs Smartparens is minor mode for Emacs that manages parenthetical pairs and tries to be smart about it. Smartparens combines the functionality of autopair, textmate, wrap-region, electric-pair-mode, paredit into an integrated and extensible interface, with consistent behaviour across multiple languages. It aims to manage parentheses, delimiters, tags, et al in a way that does not cause cognitive dissonance. . Users who have found paredit awkward, or who miss LISP-specific niceties when working in other languages should try Smartparens. Conversely, long-time paredit users may require a period of adaptation, may need to customise various smartparens behaviours, and ultimately might find that this package is insufficiently paredit alike. Also, there are some reports that it is slow and inefficient in some modes (eg: AUCTeX); however, it works particularly well with Cider (Clojure). . Smartparens uses a default profile for most languages, but has specific support for Emacs LISP, Clojure, Elixir, ESS, Haskell, HTML, Javascript, LaTeX, Lua, Markdown, ML, Org, Python, Racket, Ruby, Rust, Scala, and plain text. This package is at the 99% percentile of MELPA downloads, Emacs Prelude installs it, and it is part of Spacemacs (and thus the Spacemacs packaging effort). I am currently in the process of investigating how well I like it. I really like the idea of paredit but continue to find it difficult to use in practise, so Smartparens might become one of my favourite packages. I plan to maintain it as part of the Debian Emacsen team, and I will need a sponsor for the initial upload. Regards, Nicholas
