I wrote a literate-programming compiler to deal with JavaScript programming (any language works, but js is the one I use the most); it use markdown as the language in which the code is embedded. For me, prototype setup and async stuff seemed to naturally lead me to want to differ in the ordering between how I write and how the program is laid out. I find it quite liberating to not care what order I write the code in, dashing off a substitution section to deal with later. I know functions can be used to chunk out code in different orders, but I like the interplay of having it ordered in the writing in a sensible fashion while still getting the compiled view of it in the programmatic ordering. Plus my version allows for a lot of finely tuned hacking on the language. That is, one can reduce a lot of boiler-plate setup with processing small c

hunks of code. Having said all that, I would not use Knuth's original version for js. I think what was particularly attractive was a simple language like markdown for embedding code in a natural and simple way. My main repo is https://github.com/jostylr/literate-programming though I am currently rewriting the engine behind it to allow for more asynchronous compiling https://github.com/jostylr/literate-programming-lib
