I'm curious if anyone has tried using Combobulate with Clojure. The sales pitch seems to be "Paredit functionality for Algol-family languages" ... does it offer much over Paredit for Lisps?

I was using combobulate with python, typescript with great success but it was more to recapture the feel of paredit

I'm using Combobulate with typescript. Works pretty good. The editing capabilities is far below paredit with clojure, but that has more to do with the language (typescript) than anything else, I would guess. The only thing that Combobulate offers that paredit doesn't have, is AST queries and visualizations, but I never use that with typescript, and would never need it with clojure 🤷

2nd time today I'm hearing about Combobulate, suppose I should check it out :^) The treesitter-grammer auto-installs will save me some agonies on fresh setups ❤️

window-layout-rotate-clockwise is sweet also, reminds me of the xmonad shortcut to cycle windows

Two days ago, I upgraded from Emacs 29 to 31.1 and although I have a really large init.el, I just had to fix a few minor issues and everything was smooth. I was so anxious to upgrade, but turns out that was unjustified. Now I just need to have time to explore all the new features I missed. XD
