Literate programming: Org mode and Scala

Literate programming: Org mode and Scala

[Andrea Giugliano]

Hi everybody,

TL;DR: org mode literate programming does not work easily with the current
scala-mode, there are options to work around this: are the org-mode
maintainers still okay with scala-mode depending on ensime?


Thanks so much for org-mode: the more I use it the more I appreciate the
effort you have put into it!

I am working with Scala and I like to test out things using a literate
programming style. Apparently org-mode decided to offload the scala-mode
to the Ensime maintainers. For this reason there is no straightforward
(at least not to me) support to run code blocks on the fly.

I have opened an issue about this [0], but the Ensime/scala-mode
community does not seem active (at least this pull request did not
receive any comment yet [1]).

For those who are struggling I have created a little of code to make
easy to work with Scala and org-mode [2].

I wonder: is the org-mode community planning to make scala-mode work in
a literate way without workarounds?

Thanks,

Andrea

Are you saying that there are two versions of scala-mode out there:
one that works and one that doesn't work?

Hi Grant,

Yes, I am. If you manage to make the current scala-mode work, the output
is ugly (I opened a PR for that). The old scala-mode [1] did not need any
external package to work (apart of Scala).

Best,

Andrea
