The discussion in here was very informative.  For Knuth, a literate program
is composed of macros. However like it has been said, macros usefulness can
be questionable in structured programming languages.  But if we take out
macros from the equation, then what makes literate programming different
from writing code with comments?

Also, I feel like the overhead for using LP is a little too big.  It
requires us to change tools and processes.
