This is like a rediscovery of an org-mode capability that has existed for decades, and doesn't do as much.

Is it? I use org-babel regularly but wasn't aware of it - what's the function called? As great as org-mode / org-babel is, the user base is too small to not be overlooked.

  • Well in general I've put entire projects into org docs, and ran the code blocks, essentially using it like a Jupyter notebook (although honestly it wasn't always as smooth as I'd like). And I haven't done this myself, but there's a neat literate programming talk from the last EmacsConf[0] in which the presenter showed some custom capabilities which improved the experience even more for him.
