parinfer 2018-01-05
watched the talk Inspiring a future Clojure editor with forgotten Lisp UX - Shaun Lebron (too long title btw. 😄 inciting but long :D) / if I were there, I would've asked why I can't sometimes close parens. I type ) and nothing happens

@ashnur: I think the only case it isn’t allowed is if you’re typing an unmatched )

I’ve since added an option called forceBalance that defaults to false to allow them when they don’t come at the end of a line

there was heated discussion about what the default should be
shaunlebron 2018-01-08T03:41:23.000111Z
chris and I both agree that no config is great
shaunlebron 2018-01-08T03:41:57.000091Z
chris maintains atom-parinfer
shaunlebron 2018-01-08T03:42:27.000036Z
the forceBalance option was not going to exist
shaunlebron 2018-01-08T03:43:05.000080Z
but it prevented atom-parinfer from being forked
shaunlebron 2018-01-08T03:44:31.000070Z
smart mode is still early stuff, so the options will help us explore what it should be
shaunlebron 2018-01-08T03:45:15.000003Z
after some experience, we might find better defaults and config could be ignored
i was wondering if there is a way to not have any configuration
not just in parinfer, but in general. settings and configs for software is bad ux imho, but i don't have a good solution either

i like how you emphasized in that talk that tooling shouldn't be intrusive
