colisper VS emacs-refactor

Without Lem, how do you edit files? We need to edit and load files in the REPL. magic-ed could help. What if before loading the file, we added some style criticisms? The lisp-critic is waiting to be adopted and expanded (while colisper has too simple rules).

Nice! Reminds me of Comby, which makes it easy to match & replace s-exprs too. https://comby.dev/ (I have this POC for predefined Lisp rules: colisper (warn: just a POC))

It's also possible to run emacs in batch mode to indent a file: https://github.com/vindarel/colisper/blob/master/emacs-batch-indent.el I don't recall, maybe it won't fix very ill-indented files.

You can find examples here: https://github.com/g000001/lisp-critic (lisp-rules.lisp) and to a smaller extent, here: https://github.com/vindarel/colisper (src/catalogue directory). The lisp-critic is available by default on this custom readline REPL: https://ciel-lang.github.io/CIEL/#/repl?id=friendly-lisp-critic so it can be tried at the terminal (in conjunction with the %edit command). It would be nice if it had better editor integration though. (it shouldn't be too hard, there's one function (critique-file pathname) to call on a file).

This kind of stuff should be checked by static analysis tools. I added a rule in colisper (Comby underneath) to check that sort is followed by copy-seq. (best case right now, it doesn't match global vars with earmuffs). I looked at the lisp-critic, it has no check for sort but is a good candidate.

I started colisper, based on Comby, whose goals are 1) to warn about code smells, according to rules you can also define (not unlike the lisp-critic) and 2) rewrite code, including from Emacs. So, it doesn't answer your examples (see sblint), but it might help for the "other metrics".

Hey I discovered recently https://github.com/Wilfred/emacs-refactor via Irreal blog: https://irreal.org/blog/?p=9397.

Actually u/Accomplished_Will_31, I just discovered there is something for refactoring Elisp: https://github.com/Wilfred/emacs-refactor
