After installing dozen of packages from AUR, I managed to get it up and running. Its nice and some of the ideas could be shamelessly stolen for org/org-babel. E.g. the mouse-support is great and would fit well to org if we think of emacs on tablets. However, I think it is in a very very early stage and one would need to see how it develops. I do not like the ruby-bridge. This looks to me very fragile and I had bad experience with python. Those bridges tend to break whenever there is a change on one of the sides ext. language or emacs. It also changed the entire appearance resp. face of my emacs session not sure why it did this. Feels a bit invasive and alienating. Nevertheless, its good that this kind of things get tested out and maybe in a future release of Emacs, we can see some of the ideas in the Emacs core.
