Oh, wouldn't you say that TeX also "followed strict Literate
Programming rules and made a big success of it"?
It's been a while, but I've read the TeX Book. It's a tour de force;
what Knuth accomplishes in very little space is amazing.
Not only is the compiler well-
documented, but the result is a wonderful tour
through the construction and design decisions of a
large program that does real work.
I'll agree, worth reading.
Thanks,
