LP is basically the idea behind JN, yes. Though it's a bit limited in that sense; for example literate programming often allows arbitrary ordering of code snippets and extracting parts into separate code blocks (like `<<foo>>` in the linked post).
But Jupyter Notebooks does it more like a REPL where every code block can be executed separately, which is nice too. Afaik this is also possible in Emacs' org mode.
