An open-source alternative to QuickBooks
as far as the ledger-cli google groups [1] go, they seem to think it is a proper journal file. It has been fairly tested with OFX imports (https://github.com/ledger/ledger/wiki/OFX-Import) as well bank autosync (https://github.com/egh/ledger-autosync).
In fact, someone also wrote a book on this - https://leanpub.com/personal-accounting-in-ledger/
I will defer if you are indeed building your own competing tool in this space which is better, but holding to the original point of my request - maybe it will be incremental to support your format if ledger-cli format is supported today. versus not supporting any disk format (or inventing a new one).

Personal Finance - use Ledger to keep your own finance or use online services like MoneyDashBoard?
If you are willing to write personal tools, the very first IME will be a way to import transactions from your bank(s) out of the formats they offer, avoid duplication, handling "history changes" (for instance debit cards in most (all?) countries appear immediately then change when the payment processors gives details to the bank) etc. That can be a nice intro/base https://github.com/egh/ledger-autosync but for stocks is more complicated: much depend of your trading choices: if you do rare put/call bank export + "live" quote from Yahoo Finance might be ok, if you do day trading or scalping you need a more "near-real time" source of data, and that's are not free at least in EU (France/Italy/Sweden AFAIK), there are some SIM that offer rest APIs with various price policies...

Plain Text Accounting
ledger-autosync [1] tries to solve this problem, by pulling the data for you from supporting banks. If I understand things correctly, this [2] is the list of banks it can successfully pull data from.

plotting tools to use in emacs-lisp code
Many are suggesting using org-babel but that is exactly what I do not want. I want a library that could be used directly within an emacs-lisp code. This would make it easy to write Emacs packages that work with data. For example, in the package expenses that I wrote, I want to be able to plot and analyse expenses for different months/categories. Now, this could be done using some library from other languages but it would be much easier and nicer if there is a way to do this using emacs-lisp only.
