This all dates from the mid-1980s. It's reproduced in Knuth's
book "Literate Progrmming", which you can find on Amazon and is
well worth owning. That book has some other gems, including his
famous paper "Structure Programming With goto Statements".
The original Programming Pearls column was published in CACM.
Google helps find it:

(I do know about Doug's review of DEK's
program in the Programming
Pearls column. I think the problems there were not with Lit Prog
itself, but with how Knuth programs.
What are the issues with how Knuth programs?
Honestly I've never heard any criticisms before. My own take on
Literate Programming
can be seen at https://github.com/arnoldrobbins/texiwebjr.)
This looks _really_ cool. I am looking forward to reading this in
detail and hopefully experimenting with it. David R. Hanson, "C Interfaces and
Implementations: Techniques for
Creating Reusable Software", Addison-Wesley Professional, 1996. Online

.
I have that book.
There's also the LCC C compiler book which was done in a literate style.
