Parens Matching

[johnjelinek]

It would be great if vsClojure provided Parens Matching like Emacs does.

Example: If I do an open paren, it automatically creates a closing paren and unless I go into "paren-edit" mode, I cannot delete the closing parens.

A lot of people hate paredit but I actually like it and this is definitely a good feature request to have!

Might as well through in rainbow parenthesis as well.

That would be AWESOME

Parens are matched, see screenshot:

I think John was asking for it to auto-create the closing paren when you type the opening paren. This could be useful, but I don't see it as critical.

Yea, at least having rainbow parens would be a step in the right direction.

Good point @speige, something like paredit would be nice. Fortunately there a lot of examples out there in the Clojure world that implement this so if we need we can use those as reference material. The Eclipse Counterclockwise Clojure plugin has a paredit module as well as Emacs and a few others that I know of off the top of my head.
