Re: [O] Babel for eshell?

2015-08-23 Thread Lawrence Bottorff
Okay, if you check this
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/14979/access-to-the-elisp-commands-behind-eshell-commands/14981#14981
you'll
see the answer I was after. With eshell you can stay within emacs to do
system/command line stuff. Now, with the elisp code behind eshell I can
stay within org-mode within emacs for system stuff. Sure, I could put sh in
blocks, but stepping up into scripting seems like a good practice to
develop.

 Is there any way to do literate Babel-style things with eshell? Only shell

 just a wrapper around actual elisp expressions. For example,

 find-file foobar.txt

 is actually

 (find-file foobar.txt)

 I'd like to do shell-like stuff and capture everything literate-style in
 code and result blocks. If no Babel for eshell, is there a way to translate
 eshell into its raw elisp? Then I could do Babel on the elisp.
