Mishandling semicolon inside vertical bar literal

[ylixir]

Parinfer thinks that semicolons between vertical bars is a comment (it's not). At least in common lisp, racket, and lumen this is wrong

(define |;| 5)
(print |;|)

is changed to

(define |;)| 5)
(print |;)|)

which is wrong.

this is burning me when | is being used to quote literal code in a transpiler: https://github.com/sctb/lumen/blob/master/test.l#L202

Thanks for reporting this! I am not familiar with CL, Racket, and Lumen.

This seems like something that should be handled "upstream" in the core parinfer.js implementation, and then can be fixed for parinfer-lua.

Out of curiosity, what are you using parinfer-lua for? :nerd_face:

Not OP, but I am following the issue. I’m using parinfer-lua in a Neovim plugin. Thank you for your work on this!

I'm using @gpanders plugin actually :-)

Did you mean to link your own fork? Should I open the ticket there? or upstream upsteam in the @shaunlebron repo?

edit: nvm, i see the original repo is unmaintained
