A comment on Mdx – Execute Your Markdown Code Blocks, Now in Go.

ah, someone has reimplemented another feature of Org Mode.

Well, this will mean Org files exported to Markdown can remain executable just like they were in Emacs, so maybe this makes Org Babel more valuable as well, for those of us that prefer a structured markup language for notes and literate programming

And thanks to pandoc it's not hard to go back and forth

Those who do not understand Emacs are doomed to reinvent it, poorly.

With apologies to Henry Spencer.

Casting off the shackles of Lisp! There are worse mistakes.

Yes, the feature is called org-babel and it lets you write and execute polyglot literate programs.

org babel supports way more languages. Elisp (obviously), python, C, C++, Java, you name it

This idea isn't just from one source but that doesn't mean another implementation isn't worthy.

We did similar at a company I worked for 15 yrs ago

Yup, looks like org-babel is at least 15 years old. https://github.com/taruti/org-babel/tree/master

I don't think it ever had huge adoption across whole teams, but I hope if there are new implementations that they take away a number of lessons you can gather from 15 years of org-babel.
