True. However, how useful literate programming is depends on a number of factors, time often being the main limiting factor.

  I've found tooling is the main limiting factor. Time certainly doesn't help, but seeing as how I couldn't use literate programming while my colleagues use their IDEs is ultimately what means I will be ditching it once I get help on things.

    Yes, that too. Speaking of which: any good tools for literate programming?

      Emacs org-mode has been blowing me away lately. Don't know how well it can scale up to a large project, sadly.

  If you're writing code that can be so easily understood that it does not require explanation, get a machine to do it.
