At the end of the day it’s just text. Not that different from markdown.

All code is just text...

  • Big org-enthusiast here, but need to defend markdown. Plenty of folks have workflows that allow for inline execution in markdown. Babel is WAY more powerful, but markdown is fine for most code snippets.

    • Markdown does not have the same overlap with org-mode. Many use it more like a Jupyter notebook. External work flows would not be considered part of Markdown per se.

      #+call: something(foo=bar, list=baz[,0]) this level of features just does not exist in Markdown.

      Just not what it was designed for.
