Another reference to Ada in the same area. Now talking about a Wiki-like= = literate programming "language" , http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1336 Someone has exclaimed : > Sounds great! > Does it to do Ada? ;-) (Yes, it does!) This post is the opportunity for another quote. If you think Ada is as = much an attitude (in one area at least) and fulfilling some requirement = as = it is a language which enforce these both, then you may not feel I'm out= = of topic if I quote this, which does not contains even a single word abo= ut = Ada (namely / by name) : http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/3663 > I was one of the original authors at IBM Research.

(while this can be pleasant too, if it works, we like both I suppose) As last words, for interested peoples, I was thinking that as literate i= s = just a transformation of one text into another (or others), then XML + = XSLT may be the most natural choice here. I've searched about it, and it= = seems indeed someones already though the same.
