Can&#x27;t blame me for misunderstanding when you have clearly written:<p>&gt;These are systems that focus on generating beautifully typeset documentation without allowing the author to arbitrarily order code.<p>As CWEB does allow the author to arbitrarily order code.<p>There&#x27;s also this statement:<p>&gt;I speculate that nobody has actually read anybody else&#x27;s literate programs in any sort of detail.<p>Which suggests you yourself have never read any literate programs in detail. Thankfully this statement is provably false as the MMIX Group at MUAS exist? = true so I can merely comment that buggy line out and read the second half of your argument without it being entirely invalidated.
