How do you see this with respect the literate programming model?

I've been thinking about the best method of presenting mathematical algorithms. There is a gap between equations that represent the mathematics and the actual code that represents the algorithm. The actual code has loops and does low-level data manipulation that has been optimized away from the formula definition. This is especially true of numerics, where I've been doing a lot of recent work. The form of presentation in this paper seems to be the perfect combination of formula and algorithm. See, for example, p14: http://slicot.org/objects/software/reports/SLWN2014_1.pdf It would be ideal if this was the Axiom algebra language (Spad2?). Constructing a parser/compiler for such input is easily a PhD thesis. It would represent a major step forward in computational mathematics. That said, I think we should adopt this style for documentation.
