That is neat! Thank you so much for this.
Learning to embrace org was a long and arid journey (it can do so much you quickly get lost in the process). Babel was the first extension I really enjoyed to use from day 1. It is what I expected from a literate programming tool.
I've never much used IPython but I heard a lot of praise about it. I guess it's the perfect timing to jump in.
Are you planning on adding to the languages' page? [1]

- nekopa 11y agoCan you recommend any specific resources that helped you get a handle on org?
- jonrx 11y agoWorg [1] is IMHO clearly the best place to start (and finish!). There is a lot of stuff there, and I don't think I'm even 10% done. (I still haven't looked at the calendar, tried the to-do list and wasn't convinced, etc.) At first, comparing it to Markdown (markup-wise) was very helpful. I keep this page ( http://orgmode.org/manual/Markup.html http://orgmode.org/manual/Markup.html ) handy and write my blog posts in Org. (This is why I found babel to be invaluable : I don't have to keep my code separate from my post, which is one hassle less for quick demonstrations). Right now, my strategy is a little bit like this : the moment I think something would require some writing, I quickly check what org-mode has to offer. The learning might be slower, but I don't get bored this way. [1] : http://orgmode.org/worg/ http://orgmode.org/worg/
