evil-textobj-tree-sitter VS lispy

You may be aware but the author of TFA also has a tree-sitter based minor mode called Combobulate for exactly that:

https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/combobulate-structure...

There is also evil-textobj-tree-sitter for tree-sitter based text objects for Evil mode:

https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

here are the structural editing tools, and they're great - https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

evil-mode users already have options, and there seems to be a new package with general applicability too.

evil-textobj-tree-sitter: provides new textobjects to evil-mode, thanks to treesitter

I have a package which lets you target language level constructs like functions, classes, conditionals etc for text objects using tree-sitter. This is specific to evil mode as of now, though making it work outside evil would not be that big an effort. https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

Other than combobulate, these packages also use tree-sitter for changing code (not just highlighting): * https://codeberg.org/FelipeLema/tree-sitter-indent.el * https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

not lsp, treesitter is the way to go. lsp does not provide AST ATM. There is already https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter . As a side note, smartparens work on non-lispy code. I am very happy with using in combination with evil-cleverparens.

Some killer features in Emacs, which I would recommend checking out, is imenu and movement by s-expression (functions like forward-sexp). These are built into Emacs and make navigating across or inside blocks of code very easy. I have also seen that lispy, which is usually used for Lisp code also supports Python. Again I can't speak to any specifics about how well these things work for Python devs.

While writing other programming languages with LSP, it formats the buffer once I hit save. Is there any way to make https://github.com/abo-abo/lispy do some equivalent behaviour?

Without any order magit, lispy and minions.

I don't know cider, but...I found lispy mode a revelation in making the easy, easier.

The level of interactivity in your emacs determines how easy trying emacs-lisp becomes. I suggest checking out https://github.com/abo-abo/lispy, it makes it easy to look up documentation (C-c 1 I believe) and evaluate S-expressions on the fly (keybinding is e). Also C-h f, C-h k, C-h v are always very helpful. Also check out helpful (the package), selectrum, marginalia, prescient, etc.

Emacs seems to attract quite a lot of people who want structural code editing. We now have * paredit * smartparens * evil-cleverparens * lispy * symex * combobulate (more?)

Obviously, we have packages like Paredit and Lispy, recently we got SymEx, but these are all for the Lisp family of languages, where syntactic redundancy is very high because of the homoiconicity.
