Some time ago, I read Knuth's works on literate programming and played with noweb, and this seemed interesting, at least for static languages like C. But I always wondered how this approach fits in the dynamic, interactive style of Lisp development. If you write a chunk, how can you evaluate it? Do you delay evaluation/testing until all related chunks can be tangled into into code? Do you have tools to evaluate chunks in a Lisp REPL?
