Hi, Nicolas, and thanks.
I'm new to clojure (I've been working through Programming Clojure), and
most of my long work life has gravitated around c, shell scripts, and perl.
That being said, I've tinkered with Lisp dialects for the past twenty-five
years (mostly elisp, scheme, and common lisp), an
I'm a bit reluctant to get into this, because I'm new to clojure (and don't
know the backstory of this post), but an old hand at literate programming (I
recently did a podcast interview with Donald Knuth on LP). I'll be
interested in the results of your survey.

My two favorite articles on Literate Programming are both from Donald
Knuth's book *Literate Programming*. One is "Computer Programming as an
Art", and the other is "Literate Programming". When I was preparing to
interview Knuth a bit over a year ago I re-read the entire book. I expected
it to b

Damn, Damn, Damn. I'm very new to clojure, and joined this forum just a
few weeks ago. The fact that there are sessions at Clojure Conj on two of
my passions (Go and Literate Programming), and that I'm unable to attend,
frustrates me to no end.
I assume that the session on Go refers to the Asia
Ahh. Yes, it is really, really hard. I may have misunderstood the nature
of the session.

I decided awhile back when trying to answer questions about literate
programming, that people get caught up in t
Probably the most effective way to really hammer the benefits of literate
programming into the clojure community would be to take a manageable but
serious and well known clojure program, module, or library, and render it
into literate form. As a clojure programmer, I'm not even there. But as
