Ok, I admit I hadn&#x27;t considered Babel (though I was vaguely aware of it) when I looked at literate programming systems. I considered CWeb, Nuweb, Noweb, and Literate Haskell and a bunch of other semi-literate systems. I think my blind spot was to only consider approaches that were oblivious to tooling, things that I could open and read in any editor. That caused me to also miss LEO, as a commenter on the OP pointed out. I&#x27;m absolutely aware of LEO and like it, it just wasn&#x27;t on my mind when writing this.<p>I still find your approach of interpreting my statements as strictly logical entities to be pointless at best. For the last bloody time, I know that literate programs operate on hunks that can be reordered. I still don&#x27;t understand how you can think I don&#x27;t know that after reading the post. Also, was it not obvious that &quot;nobody&quot; meant &quot;nobody <i>else</i>&quot;? And yes, of course I can&#x27;t be sure that none of the six billion people on the planet has ever read a literate program. (Though if they did and they didn&#x27;t say anything about it, and they didn&#x27;t push back against people building crappy quasi-literate systems, are they not like the proverbial falling tree in the forest with nobody to hear it?) It&#x27;s a <i>rant</i>, dammit. Do you know what that is? :) I&#x27;m pissed off at quasi-literate systems that keep people from realizing what Literate Programming can be, and I&#x27;m sorry that wasn&#x27;t clear to you from my writing.<p>Are there any good example Babel programs you can recommend? I went looking and didn&#x27;t find anything better&#x2F;meatier than <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;limist&#x2F;literate-programming-examples" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;limist&#x2F;literate-programming-examples</a>. I&#x27;m still skeptical that any sort of typesetting system is of much benefit; if I have to render in a split screen that&#x27;s one less window for me to open code in, most likely I&#x27;ll be trying to get by just reading un-rendered code. I think code should be WYSIWYG, because the slightest rendering step is overhead at the scale programmers deal with text. If I had to constantly render λ out of <i>\lambda</i> I&#x27;d never use it. But now that my terminal can render unicode sanely I use it all the time. Racket&#x27;s Scribble system suffers the same drawback (Racket&#x27;s ability to render Latex that you pointed out is utterly irrelevant in the context of this thread, without Scribble&#x27;s ability to reorder code).<p>Anyways, if you&#x27;d send me some example Babel programs I&#x27;d love to give it a try.
