Congrats on getting to a stable release! This is an awesome project.

Have you considered moving it away from the "literal programming" encoding?

For myself, and I suspect for many others, this encoding gets in the way of
understanding what's available.

For example, one doesn't get an accurate view of the documentation while
browsing the project on github. Running tangle doesn't always work out of
the box for everyone either. Given the size of the thing, this can add up
to an overwhelming initial experience.
