I tried to spin up a repl.it session for the first time yesterday, with the intent to hack on clojure solutions to Advent of Code 2020. After a while I just got pretty frustrated battling the editor's default/only formatting settings. Maybe I missed something, but they seem badly mismatched to how clojure code (and I'd say lisp generally) is normally formatted, it felt like writing clojure in a javascript editor.

I used repl.it when first learning Scheme years ago and remember it being okay. But after using emacs or Cursive, I couldn't imagine writing in a Lisp without being able to slurp/barf at the very least.
