It's interesting that the literal programming mentioned in the description and in the comments is old, but it basically suggests making a text primarily intended for computers more human. What is new here imho is that the idea of extending markdown with programming features is doing the reverse. So, if you have some texts made for humans why not make it more algorithmic in nature. I think this idea might be more influential if we find more cases when it could shine.
