This is one way to do it, not necessarily the only way. I don't think a 4 line init.el is that complicated ;). > 4.

How do you change your functions? If I want to do it, I tinker with them directly in my emacs.org and evaluate from there or copy the relevant bits to the *scratch* buffer and bring them back to emacs.org once it works. If the file changed, the el file gets tangled fresh automatically next time I start emacs and used right away. I don't really see a problem? Memnon
