Apparently, org-mode Babel (or maybe Emacs, or ESS) will hang when given incomplete input, like the following:
#+begin_src R ddply(x, #+end_src I was just tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my code was hanging, because of course it's much longer and I didn't notice the missing paren. Is this replicable on other people's platforms too? I'm using GNU Emacs on Windows, with org-mode 7.7 and ESS 5.14. There are other situations where I really wish org-mode (or Emacs, or ESS) didn't freeze up while evaluating R code - for example if I accidentally did 'debug()' on a function that's now being called, or even just on long-running calculations. Any chance evaluation could be done in a separate thread or something?
