No indenting exists for this previously, it's a language (currently unnamed) I'm writing as an experiment in functional programming and to learn to parse.
I can't think of any other markers really, the syntax for the language is pretty minimalistic, here's a quicksort implementation that has 95% of the language in it:
quicksort (ls) :=
if (= (length ls) 1)
ls
(let
pivot = car ls,
less = filter (lambda(x) -> < x pivot) (cdr ls),
more = filter (lambda(x) -> >= x pivot) (cdr ls),
in:
append (quicksort less) (cons pivot (quicksort more)));
main := quicksort [1 2 3 5 18 4 1 4 1 4]
Since () are used to group function applications their extremely common. I was originally thinking a syntax similar to Scheme's or Common Lisp's might do it, but I'm confused how they manage it based on their indent files, I'm still pretty newbie-ish at this sort of vim stuff.

[Reversed the top-posting, per list preference]Don't write the indent file if you don't have to. What language are you trying to indent?

I am writing an indentation script for a simple language. The language is has very simple constructs and the indentation really only has 3 rules:
1. A comment has goes from a // until a newline, anything in a comment should be ignored.
2. If the line above contains a semi-colon, the indentation should be 0.
3. Otherwise, indent to 1 more than the most recent unbalanced ( and to 4 spaces if all paranthesis are balanced.
The last rule is kinda stumping me, does anyone have any advice?
Indenting gets slow if you have to scan the whole file. Unless you're never dealing with at-all long files. Is there anything other than semi-colons and parenthesis (im)balance that can be used for resetting indentation?

Oh actually 1 more rule
4. If the line above matches "let:$", or "in:$" where $ is the end of
line, indent by 1 more than this line.

Excuse me, rule 3. should read:
3. Otherwise, indent to 1 more than the most recent unbalanced ( and to the
same level as the last line if all parenthesis are balanced and no other
rules apply.
