On: Was Knuth Really Framed?

Exactly.

It's not fair to compare 40(!) years of advances in tooling surrounding the pile-of-files approach to software, to the somewhat withered on the vine approach embodied in literate programming.

It's a road not taken, and I think that's a pity, so I'm doing something about it <shrug>

I hope you'll post something about your progress. It's not an easy problem to tackle, but hopefully a fun one. :)

I hope to have a Show HN ready by summer!
