Yeah, it&#x27;s a couple of years old, and I too am a bit embarrassed when I read it now. It was a rant, read it as such. I find Literate Programming to be strictly an improvement over conventional programming. But &quot;quasi-literate&quot; systems to beautify programs aren&#x27;t really Literate Programming, and their benefits are more questionable, since they pollute what the term means and keep people from realizing what Literate Programming can be. That&#x27;s my frustration.
