Hello you and you,

You may know about literate programing (weither or not you use it). If so,
you may be interested about FunnelWeb, old, but there. I was having a
quick look at its tutorial, and when I arrived at part 4, “ A Complete
Example ”, I said “ Ouch, which language is using with/use like Ada ? ”.
Then I looked again, and Yes, the tutorial comes with an Ada example.
Short, but there.

http://www.ross.net/funnelweb/tutorial/example.html

It seems at the time, this same FunnelWeb was used (think the tutorial
comes with an Ada example in this context) to create a data integrity
check product (as claimed on the home page).

Nice to see these three things together, isn't it ?

No-no, this isn't an oops ...or I hope (TM) - Don't blame me... I'm just  
not lucky

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 about  
Ada (namely / by name) :

(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 is  
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. But as I do not like to  
speak alone (said with cheese), I will not talk about it unless someone  
react to this topic,

Have a nice time

Erratum. Was confused with another project. This one is *not* the one  
about a literate programming "language" using a wiki-like syntax (that's  
another), it's the one about a wiki showing literate programming in  
actions (on little snips).
