You can reduce all this double-entry bookkeeping reporting stuff to filter

I'd be surprised if noone ever added that to Emacs.
You can't automatically insert commas until a number has finished being

I've thought about the idea of using SQL to carry out these reports front

Beancount doesn't convert from ledger nor hledger. I set out to write a
converter at some point but I couldn't get the ledger Python API working
quickly and on Mac and Linux and so I gave up. one could write a
ledger/hledger parser to do this, would be another idea.

Two notes:
1. AFAIK in Ledger this will only work if you keep your entries in sorted

For plotting net worth, you don't need every day, every week or every month
is plenty sufficient.
And you'll have to reconcile all of these to a single currency.

(now).

Merged LedgerHub back into beancount under a new "beancount.ingest"

There are three new scripts:
bean-identify
bean-extract

I can see how that makes sense in theory but in practice it'll probably end
up only adding one more mailing-list to the To: field and users will still
post general CLI accounting questions on the Ledger list. Not convinced
it'll actually improve the crosstalk situation much. In any case, I'm
