Alright, I've just pushed up support for variables. The following should all work as expected (or at least as I would expect them to). Note that most all of these blocks would have an effect on the calc stack. I think the next step would be to allow different sessions to specify different stacks.
** playing with calc support #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent (require 'ob-calc) #+end_src #+begin_src calc :var some=8 some some '* 1 '+ #+end_src #+results: : 65 #+begin_src calc 2*(8+8) #+end_src #+results: : 32 #+begin_src calc 2*e #+end_src #+results: : 5.43656365692 #+begin_src calc :var something=9 2*something #+end_src #+results: : 18 There are very likely some bugs, and as always I'm eager for a calc power user to show me the light of how this support could be make more "calc idiomatic".
