Hello,

I oftentimes find myself needing to parse org files with some external tools (to generate reports for customers or sum up clock times for given month, etc). Looking through the list

https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tools/

and having tested some of these, I must say they are lacking. The Haskell ones seem to be done best, but then the compile overhead of Haskell and difficulty in embedding this into other languages is a drawback.

I think it might benefit the community when such an official parser would exist (and maybe could be hooked into org mode directly).

I was thinking picking some scheme like chicken or guile, which could be later easily embedded into C or whatever. Then use that parser in org mode itself. This way some important part of org mode would be outside of the small world of elisp.

This is just an idea, what do you think? :)

Best,
Przemek
