I think Literate Programming is quit appealing, but as far as I know the only
large literate programs are TeX and Metafont. 8 years after Knuth's article this
isn't very much. So:
 - Is Literate Programming only for the academics?
 - If it is: Are there any experiences with LARGE programs?
 - If it is: Why?
 - If it is not: Are there any experiences with LARGE programs?

Please answer via posting to this newsgroups (or via email, if you must).
