Questions tagged [smie]
SMIE (Simple Minded Indentation Engine) is a package that provides a generic navigation and indentation engine. Based on a very simple parser using an “operator precedence grammar”, it lets major modes extend the sexp-based navigation of Lisp to non-Lisp languages as well as provide a simple to use but reliable auto-indentation.

Though SMIE seems to be indenting my little language very nicely, and forward-sexp also works well, I don't get backward-up-list working as desired.
My grammar:

(require 'smie)
(smie-setup nil #'ignore)
