    I've seen a few posts here recently on literate programming; I really hope it takes hold as a trend.

    A couple of months ago I released a "literate devops" tool: https://github.com/robsheldon/golem/

    It extends https://github.com/bashup/mdsh so that you can execute shell code, embedded in markdown, on remote servers. I hope someday that documented server management becomes the standard.

    A literate programming tool for any language

    Creating programs from Markdown code blocks

    A system that I created that does all of that is https://github.com/jostylr/literate-programming It does work and I tweak every now and then, but it certainly is not in an ideal state. It is a npm installable command line program and there is a 10% written book linked to from the README (free to read on Leanpub in HTML style). Almost every command is documented in there, but just barely.

    It is a markdown-based tool. I had experimented with creating a different tool called pieceful-programming which would allow for changing the basic literate style (say instead of markdown, using asciidoc). But I did not complete it (yet?).

    I used my tool for web programming, allowing me to freely arrange backend and frontend code as I see fit.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
