Hey, literate programming is great!!

But if it was invented in 1984, why is it so little 
widespread ? I hardly heard about it before today
(except for Leo, the literate programming editor,
which however I never tried).

BTW, I have in mind an integration of documentation+test suite,
not documentation+program (a la Knuth).

Bye,
