What Hacker News says
3 sourcesMarkdown supports HTML (with JS), and HTML/JS is quite powerful. I can make complex computations and drawings with JS libraries, then present them nicely with custom CSS. Some markdown editors supports embedded HTML/JS in preview, which makes them easy to use as IDE. My favorite editor is Marker[0].
I suspect that I can write embedable applications in JS and load them as libraries in Markdown to perform advanced stunts, like in Org mode.
