I wish that I was a better programmer, so could be a better advocate for this programming style.
I wish that there were more standard tools for it --- it kills me that I couldn't find a nice .layout for doing Literate Programming in LyX w/ arbitrary programming languages.
I'm just glad that my using this system lets me overcome hurdles/complexity beyond levels which previously posed insurmountable stumbling blocks --- at a previous job there was a typesetting back-end for phone book ads which I had written in LaTeX using a documented TeX file (.dtx) --- once a year or so they would sell a license to a new customer and I would have to update it to their needs, and every quarter or so there would be a bug report... being able to read through the code would quickly get me in a place where I could fix things and then move on to the next task.
Current effort is at:

At some point in time I need to look into if using Lua would allow some niceties such as per-file line # tracking...
