Years ago, I was really into this vim plugin:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1334

It allowed me to embed python code in a document, and have it both 
displayed, and have the output displayed, too. Not as cool as having an 
arbitrary set of filters applied, but still, very useful. I found that my 
whole coding strategy changed...I was really writing a large meta document, 
and embedding links to code snippets (python)...this allowed me to write a 
cohesive document at one level, and the build process was really, build -> 
run tests -> build doc -> doc runs code -> doc embeds code and results in 
doc -> doc formatted as html/pdf -> done. 

This was really cool. But I think this project foundered...I only 
contributed bugs and whatnot b/c I couldn't stand to wade thru Bram's weird 
vimscript language. I kept thinking, 'if only he'd just used python 
instead...'.
