Switched to beancount from ledger a few months ago and I’m really enjoying the strict syntax of beancount. The cool thing though is that I really didn’t lose any of my reporting flows that I had with (h)ledger… I just made scripts that convert the beancount journal on the fly, run whatever I was used to with hledger, and then delete the temporary file.

I feel like I’m getting the best of both worlds :)




Did you covert your hledger journal to beancount, or just start anew?


I started anew, just because after having using ledger I wanted to change some accounts, categories, and generally change the way I was doing things before.

But I don't see why I'd be an issue to convert ledger to beancount.
