It's been a long time but I believe I read Anatomy of Lisp John Allen As I recall it would be an example of "literate programing" in the sense that every piece of code had extensive explanation before and after; and could actually lift the code and implement it. I found it a revelation; he actually built a lisp interpreter and a memory management DB system right in front of my eyes; and I understood it. I had always thought that starting at that level and generating what he did wouldn't be possible without inventing a new language for the DB handling. I thought DB handling was totally inappropriate for Lisp. Of course he did start from a (small) kernel. Sad to say it's out of print but Amazon has it available; for a exorbitant price IMHO.
