Chris Oakman ported the parinfer algorithm to Lua [1]. I used this to write a parinfer plugin for Neovim [2]. I use Fennel (a Lisp that compiles to Lua) for all of my Neovim config and so use parinfer everyday. It works exceptionally well (there are occasional hiccups, but no showstoppers).

Neither my plugin nor Chris' script have been updated in 2+ years. That's because it just keeps working. I owe a lot to Shaun and Chris for their work (my plugin is just a little glue code for interacting with the editor, they did all of the hard work).
