I love org-babel, but am I alone in thinking it’s probably best-used for well-understood workflows? Prototyping something with org-babel usually forces me to kill emacs when it hangs for any number of reasons–I imagine it’s choking while trying to reformat as a table. I’ve experimented with ob-async, but it seems unreliable so far. I wish emacs really were more like an os and could multitask a bit better.

Adding `:results raw` will remove the table formatting step. Otherwise, I agree, multitasking would be a boon.

How big is your table?

I use org babel all the time and haven't had any reliability issues.
