Very nice article. Literate programming might have some interesting features in this direction. The not so obvious thing is how it can scale.

A very good example of literate programming can be found in the fantastic book Physically Based Rendering [1]. It also has a preface discussing it [2].

The authors write a full physically-based rendering system in a declarative fashion. This approach has also led to a nicely adapted web-based version of the book [3].

Although we have successful examples like TeX and HTML, it would be very interesting to see this approach explored further by a more modern language or programming methodology.
