How do you know it didn't catch on? It depends on Lisp! The fraction of programmers using parinfer is bounded by the fraction of Lisp programmers. (I think I might have seen some fledgling experiment with parinfer for other languages, though.)

I'm highly resistant to novelty in this area, yet even I am using parinfer. A crappy implementation in Vim, at that, which only works in One direction: indent -> parens, and can get into an infinite loop fighting with Vim's undo.

Well from what I see on the emacs corners of the internet, not so much discussion.

Also I recently read on an HN thread I started: it was taken out of Calva due to bugs no one fixed.
