Hello Devon, Well, it's more the advantage of using almost any language inside org-mode using babel. With it, you can write in a regular org-file and call code blocks directly from emacs and grab their results. One example is having a 'literate' init.el file, as you can see here:
https://github.com/eschulte/emacs24-starter-kit/blob/master/starter-kit.org#load-the-starter-kit-core You can see lots of real work examples in the org-babel page. One that is really nice is this one: http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~davison/software/org-babel/drift.org.html Hope it helps :) Lucas On Tue, Aug 26, 2014 at 2:35 PM, Devon McCormick <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi - > > another J/emacs user here.
