Literate VS ntangle.vim

What does your Literate.py implementation offer over the https://github.com/zyedidia/Literate app written in D?

That sounds like a nice way to do it, too. I heard about it before, but don't know R, so I didn't really consider it.

The reason I chose lmt is that it correctly keeps the markdown language syntax of the code blocks. That means I can put my literate config into my Zettelkasten [1] or [2] and watch it pretty-print in the browser.

There are also literate [3] and org-babel [4], but I don't think they are future proof. .lit is a random format and .org basically requires Emacs+orgmode.

Here are a couple more projects that may or may not seem like Literate Programming, but are motivated squarely by its ethos: to order code for exposition, independent of what the compiler wants.

* https://github.com/snaptoken, the engine behind https://viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/kilo. The key new feature here seems to be that fragments are always shown in context that can be dynamically expanded by the reader.

* https://github.com/jbyuki/ntangle.vim -- a literate system that tangles your code behind the scenes every time you :wq in Vim or Neovim.

* My system of layers deemphasizes typesetting and is designed to work within a programmer's editor (though IDEs will find it confusing): http://akkartik.name/post/wart-layers. I don't have a single repo for it, mostly[1] because it's tiny enough to get bundled with each of my projects. Perhaps the most developed place to check out is the layered organization for a text editor I built in a statement-oriented language with built-in support for layers: https://github.com/akkartik/mu1/tree/master/edit#readme. It's also in my most recent project, though it's only used in a tiny bootstrapping shim before I wormhole solipsistically into my own universe: https://github.com/akkartik/mu/blob/main/tools/tangle.readme.... Maybe one day I'll have layers in this universe.

[1] And also because I think example repos are under-explored compared to constant attempts at reusable components: http://akkartik.name/post/four-repos
