I have used it also. Circa 10.5 years ago there was a race condition in
the scripts that ran it with troff which I fixed and sent back in; I think
they got into the dist.
Literate programming is a lot of fun and works well if you have the mindset
for it.

I implemented a mkernel using noweb. In the end, I think it's harder
to follow than placing the code and doc appart. Probably a religious
issue.

Just curious... what's the relation to Cweb and Ctangle (the ones Knuth uses)?
From what I've heard of those (even from Knuth himself) is that
they're too ugly to use very much, and fits well with Knuth's style,
which is mostly the giant blob of code style.
As far as I can tell, cweb

Noweb has a nice simple interface (if literate programming
is what you want) and runs on Plan 9. It's somewhere:
I'm sure if you dig around you can find it. Maybe it's in
/n/sources/extra. I used it quite a bit with latex. I don't
remember whether I ever used it with troff.

I believe that Cweb/Ctangle were `engineering tradeoffs' -- i.e.
concessions to the large number of people who didn't care about the
theory or the practice of programming and just wanted to use TeX
(mostly AMSTeX) on whatever new system their math/physics department
happened to buy that
