Hey all...
I have:
#+BEGIN_SRC calc
foo := 5
foo + 5 =>
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: foo + 5 => foo + 5
What I'd like, obviously, is for it to result in:
#+RESULTS:
: foo + 5 => 10
I guess I really don't understand how calc support works in org-babel.
Could someone enlighten me?

I see now.
#+BEGIN_SRC calc :var foo=5
foo + 5 =>
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: 5 + 5 => 10
However, this isn't as useful as I'd like. I'd really like to be able
to see it say "foo + 5 =>" in the output. That's clearer which line is
being referred to...

I guess what I'm saying is that assignment would be really nice.
However, I'm now seeing that this would take a lot of work.
What I'd really like to do is something like the following:
# Total BS financial projection, don't read into this at all
#+BEGIN_SRC calc
derp_expenses := 1234
derp_income := 4315
monthly_balance := derp_income - derp_expenses
monthly_balance =>
monthly_balance * 12 =>
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: monthly_balance => 3081
: monthly_balance * 12 => 36972
I guess I could use calc embedded mode, but I haven't figured out how to
do that yet. ;)

Using variable names without underscores will get you closer to the
functionality you are after as in the following.
#+BEGIN_SRC calc :var expenses=1234 :var income=4321
12*(income-expenses)
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: 37044
However, code blocks are used more like regular stack calc mode as in
the following example.
#+begin_src calc
24
3
'/
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: 8
If you'd rather write something looking more like your example, I'd
recommend either using any programming language with nice simple syntax,
e.g.,
#+BEGIN_SRC python :var derp_expenses=1234 :var derp_income=4315
monthly_balance=derp_income - derp_expenses
return monthly_balance*12
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: 36972
or using calc embedded mode directly.
