** Why do I even?
[[https://orgmode.org/][Org-mode]] makes [[http://literateprogramming.com/][literate programming]] easy via [[https://orgmode.org/worg/library-of-babel.html][Library of Babel]]. Il simply allows to mix text with executable /code blocks/ (which can also be extracted (/tangled/) into separate, executable files. The beauty the Library of Babel implementation in org-mode lies in the fact that it supports many languages. I craved support for [[https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider][SuperCollider]] and craving became an itch when I needed to document a working pipeline alternating between executing sclang and shell scripts. I scratched an itch with this little module.

#+END_SRC

*Note:*, that if you have not already started SuperCollider process, the plugin will do it for you as soon as you create a source block of type =sclang=.
*** Use of variables
You can also include variables to be passed to you sclang code:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+BEGIN_SRC sclang :var boo="hoo" :var pi=3.14159 :var year=2000 :var buf='foo

"foo".asSymbol.postln;

Before passing it on to the sclang process.
The use of sclang's own global variables is persistent between code blocks so =~boo=
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+BEGIN_SRC sclang
~boo = "hoo";
,#+END_SRC
#+END_SRC
is accessible here:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+BEGIN_SRC sclang
~boo.postln;

#+END_SRC
** Known issues
At this point, this plugin has a very crude functionality. It allows unidirectional control of SuperCollider process running inside Emacs. As such, here is a list of issues:
