He was very interested in seeing an emacs mode. We talked a bit, I gave him some pointers to some of the existing parenthesis navigation functions inside of emacs. Since then the Parinfer team (Shaun Williams and Chris OakMan) have started some serious work on an emacs port: https://github.com/oakmac/parinfer-elisp However, they aren't emacs users, and expressed they'd like help and testing. So there you are, if anyone is interested in diving in! - Chris
