It's been a long time since I saw something that showed features
not easily duplicated in Leo. Now we all have many to chew on.
The emacs demo is the first time I have seen org-mode headlines
"properly" used as functional meta-data as in Leo's @x conventions.
Furthermore, the hidden "properties" section seems more
flexible/nimble that Leo's directives.
I think so. @-directives were my inspiration for Grafoscopio "node
tags", with let me to easy embed live coding playgrounds inside the
notebook. The implementation is clumsy in my case, but I have found that
having a different place for such tags and properties (like node links)
decreased the code complexity that trying to search for @ in the
headers, or in the body and interface looks better: the presence of a
particular tag/meta-data could be illustrated with a particular icon or
visual remark. (I still use "%keywords" for extending markdown with my
own emergent markup).
Both demos are first real challenge to Leo's capabilities I have ever
seen. No, they don't have clones, but they aren't essential, are
they? One can imagine a literate devops script that would simulate
the cff command.
I haven't used clones in my own Grafoscopio notebooks, despite of using
them widely in Leo (mostly because they're not yet implemented! :-P).
But for live coding, they don't seem a first necessity.
I am happy about all this. It means that Leo has serious competition.
This kind of competition is healthy. It should spur us all on.

I share your happiness. Interesting times ahead!
Cheers,
Offray
