rainbow-identifiers VS emacs-noob

> Giving the same hue to names that look like each other.

Emacs' 'Rainbow Identifiers' does that. I like it.

I am currently using rainbow identifiers, but I am wondering if there is another package that is better.

For something fancy, there's also rainbow-blocks and rainbow-identifiers

Emacs works reasonably fine. Here's a branch that intends to provide the more familiar key bindings.

PS: I do have an emacs-noob/slime-company that might come handy. This shouldn't depend on anything specific to the OS. (Check the different branches to see which suits the OP/reader's needs!)

(Shameless plug) I'm maintaining a (still quite experimental because I don't personally use it) emacs-noob for people new to emacs but not wanting any long term relation with emacs, or want to focus on learning common lisp first and emacs second. You might find slime-company or slime-company-modern branches useful if this fits your use case.

I attempted emacs-noob/emacs-modern for some of my teammates for developing with common-lisp. It's still very much a new and untested thing though.

But if emacs becomes too-difficult-too-soon in most part due to key-bindings (definitely worth learning for life!), I recently had a try at digikar99/emacs-noob/slime-company-modern for some of my friends, which packs "familiar" key-bindings, but does require a separate installation of a compiler.

I suspect I'm not going to find enough time to maintain a full-fledged VSCode key-bound. I've put up something primitive at digikar99/slime-company-modern and digikar99/emacs-modern.
