Re: [Orgmode] Re: [babel] Painless integration of source blocks with language

[Eric Schulte]

Hi Seth,

I looked briefly at your code and much of it re-implements functionality
already provided by org-mode using a slight variation of Org-mode
syntax.  While I fully understand that it is often easier to write your
own functions rather than look up and parse existing functions, I think
that your code will stand a much better chance of re-use if it is works
with existing org-mode syntax rather than against it.  A couple of
examples below [1].  It would probably be worthwhile to read the "Source
Code" section of the Org-mode manual at [2].

I look forward to understanding the concepts behind your example, but
the above issues make this difficult.

Best -- Eric

Footnotes: 
[1]  a couple of examples...

       #+results:silent
       #+noweb:yes 

     should be

       #+Babel: :noweb yes :results silent

     also,

       #+srcname:add

     should be

       #+srcname: add

     once that syntax is fixed, then `org-babel-find-named-block' can be
     used instead of `find-chunk'.  Also, your `tangle-chunk' function
     duplicates the functionality of `org-babel-tangle'.
