> If the syntax requires special tooling to make it usable,
In Linux I'm using Geany https://www.geany.org/ with almost the default highlighting. The only change I made was to make the good and bad matches of parenthesis more visible. (In the default, the color of the parenthesis changes from black to blue or red, but it's too difficult to see. I changed it so the color is black but the background is blue or red. It's just a two lines change in the style, not special tool.)
In Windows I'm using WinEdt https://www.winedt.com/ and using again almost the default highlighting.
My recommendation is to mix () with [] and {} as recommended unofficially, instead of using only (). [For my personal code I use a few more [] and {} than the standard. I use [] for long [begin ...] blocks and {} for {define ...}. That helps a lot to find the problems.]
