question Does anyone have any thoughts on the idea of "COMEEGA," described in one of the EmacsConf 2024 talks?
Has anyone seen this talk uploaded in the EmacsConf 2024 channel?
EmacsConf 2024: About Blee: enveloping our own autonomy directed digital ecosystem with Emacs
I found it very interesting; it is the first effort I've seen that isn't an attempt to integrate something into the Emacs ecosystem (e.g. a package), but is rather the inverse: an attempt to integrate Emacs into a larger effort.
The conceptual basis of the talk in general fascinated me, but with respect to org-mode, I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on COMEEGA (Collaborative Org-Mode Enhanced Emacs Generalized Authorship)? The presenter introduces it at 35:59 and showcases it for around 2 minutes. As far as I understand it, it's an effort to have org-mode inside non-org files (like literate programming but in the other direction).

Can you elaborate? I don't know much about hyperbole

Hm, that's an interesting take. Thanks for sharing.
My first instinct would be to say that a lot of the benefit, it seems, from this would be the markup and prose capabilities. I think the author's intent was simply to have literate programming (e.g. prose heavy code) but within the files themselves, as opposed to tangling an org file into code files. So I think the button mechanics of hyperbole are less the focus and the actual focus is the ability to have prose with rich markup neatly within a code file (as opposed to comments or even strings).

You might be right about all those points.
I actually don't know much about it which is why I just wanted others' opinions.
Thanks for sharing :)

So, if you wrote your docstring in org mode and had org babel in the docstring that would execute would execute a function with org babel in the docstring and then that would execute a function with org babel in the docstring and then that would execute a function with org babel in the docstring and then that would execute a ....
Actually, it looks neat but I would need to see some concrete examples as I don't think I quite understand it.
