Hi Alex, 
FYI - I just read this post in the orgmode mail-group. So there seems to be
some action in the VimOrganizer project again:

| I just formally pushed up a new version of VimOrganizer, an Org clone in Vim. 
  
|   
  
| This version is much closer to being a true alternative to using Org-mode in  
  
| Emacs.  I say alternative to "using Org-mode in Emacs", because VimOrganizer 
in 
| large part operate as a front end to Org-mode by making calls to a running 
Emacs
| server.  All of the export functionality is done this way, as is access to 
stuff
| like Org-babel, spreadsheet evaluation, live blocks like clocktables, column  
  
| blocks, etc.  
  
|   
  
| I'd be glad to hear any feedback, comments, suggestions. . .  
  
|   
  
| An intro to some of the stuff in the new version is here: 
  
| https://github.com/hsitz/VimOrganizer/blob/master/intro.txt   
  
|   
  
| Git page is here:

|   
  
| And the page on Vim's website is here:
  
| http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3342  
  
|   
  
| I will try to get some videos of the new functionality in next day or two.  
One 
| main thing I'm happy about is I extended my patch of Vim to allow separate
  
| highlighting of TODO items on folded headings.  Previously my patch enabled   
  
| level-dependent fold highlighting, but always showed TODOs in same color as 
the 
| folded heading.  Much nicer to have everything collapsed and still have the   
  
| TODOs pop out at you. 
  
|   
  
| Thanks to everybody on here who's provided help for my (sometimes silly)  
  
| questions about Org-mode and how it works.  I'm starting to really appreciate 
  
| elisp, so who knows what the future holds. . .

Cool, this might accommodate me even better ;-)

A bit of a drawback is that the project seems to have "paused" since
more than a year.

there is even a vim clone of orgmode, but I don't know how usable it is:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3342

I don't think it offers org-babel funcionality, but who knows...

PS
It must have been late when I wrote the announcement-mail, since I
messed up all the technical terms in it. Here is a little quote that
gives the correct terms:

,
| Babel supports Literate Programming (LP) by allowing the act of
| programming to take place inside of Org-mode documents. The Org-mode   
| file can then be exported (woven in LP speak) to HTML or LaTeX for 
| consumption by a human, and the embedded source code can be extracted  
| (tangled in LP speak) into structured source code files for consumption
| by a computer.

Indeed, this seems to open a lot of possibilities. I didn't know about
org-babel, and I also must confess that I'm not an emacs user.

PicoLisp added to Org-Babel

2011-10-25 Thread Thorsten

Hi list,

I would like to announce that I (with help and substancial
input from Eric Schulte, the org-babel author) added picolisp to the
multilanguage-programming environment org-babel
((http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/index.html), that is part of
the great emacs library orgmode (http://orgmode.org/).

You can download ob-picolisp.el here:
https://github.com/tj64/ob-picolisp

Org-babel enables a kind of 'localitiy principle on steroids', since one
can write code-blocks of dozens of languages in one single file.
Funcional programming with code blocks is possible, e.g. using return
values from a clojure code-block as input value of a picolisp
code-block.

Org-babel is used for literal programming in the scientific community,
using the facilities to tangle the source code into separate files and
to export the whole .org file to html, latex and other formats.

Each code block can be edited in the specialised Emacs mode for the
respective language, e.g shell code in shell-mode and R code in ESS
(emacs speaks statistics) mode.

I can imagine using org-babel as a flexilbe database reporting tool for
picolisp. It should be very easy, e.g., to build a dynamic database
report by sending data from a picolisp codeblock to a R codeblock for
analysis, print the results into the .org file, and export it to html or
latex.

Org-babel could be useful for documenting picolisp source-code too.
Inside the picolisp code-blocks, the usual minimal picolisp style could
be applied. All the other information could be part of the .org file.
This way, one could 'have his cake and eat it', so to say, since the
pure picolisp code blocks could be toggled into separate files, but a
lot of documentation could be added to the .org file that contains the
code-blocks.

cheers
