What are some alternatives?
When comparing rainbow-identifiers and rainbow-blocks you can also consider the following projects:
rainbow-delimiters - Emacs rainbow delimiters mode
aggressive-indent-mode - Emacs minor mode that keeps your code always indented. More reliable than electric-indent-mode.
tree-hugger - A light-weight, extendable, high level, universal code parser built on top of tree-sitter
emacs-noob - A curated emacs set up intended to decrease the learning curve
paren-face - A face dedicated to lisp parentheses
fiveam-asdf - ASDF plug-in for defining test systems based on the FiveAM test library
sixten - Functional programming with fewer indirections
rust-analyzer - A Rust compiler front-end for IDEs
sly - Sylvester the Cat's Common Lisp IDE
