Re:My thoughts after using Clojure for about a month

Learning paredit is on my list of things to do.
I've been loving Clojure for hobby projects lately but my editing setup sucks for Clojure. The vi commands I'm used to using are bad in Clojure (eg copying by line almost always means unbalanced parens), and the autocomplete LLMs are very inconsistent about closing syntax correctly.
It seems super cool, I just haven't done it enough for my brain to reach for paredit keybinds instead of vim chords.
