prism.el: New feature: colorize parens distinctly (e.g. fade into background)
In the spirit of u/tarsius_'s paren-face, I just pushed a new feature to prism.el: parens can be colorized distinctly from other text, so they can be, e.g. faded out into the background (or made to stand out more, if you like).

Practical questions from a lisp beginner
There is paren-face-mode that can dim the parentheses, especially useful until your mind gets used to lisps.

In a similar idea, you can also make them less visible, so indentation strikes more: https://github.com/tarsius/paren-face/

Are Rainbow Parens helpful or distracting for beginners?
I like paren-face mode more. Reduce the contrast on the parens a bit so they're still visible but less prominent and it makes it easier to focus on the indentation, which is usually a better at-a-glance indicator of scope and intent. I ended up liking this setup so much that I eventually set it to dim [] {} and (), and to do it for all languages, not just lisps.

If you are using emacs, you might find paren-face-mode useful

Anyone using code formatter for elisp?
For elisp, I have been using srefactor for a long time, but it has quite a few issues have not been update in 5 years. Most other formatters for elisp/lisp that I have seen has some subtle issues or just does not handle splitting of long lines. People also have suggested just using aggressive-indent-mode and then putting the line breaks manually, but I was hoping to avoid having to decide where/when to split long lines as well.
