alt Hacker NewsBy the way, anyone have experience using emacs to analyse and visualise data (think spreadsheets and charts)? I’d really like to be able to use it to view any sort of data I happen to have.

Yes! Org-table is a spreadsheet. org-babel will run SQLite and gnuplot.

My first thought was Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS) to do this in Emacs via R, but I bet there are many alternatives.
I use the `vnlog` and `feedgnuplot` shell tools HEAVILY to do data analysis and visualization. In emacs, these work well in shell-mode or in any buffer with `shell-command-on-region` (M-|). Not strictly emacs, but works great.
