“Literate” programming, as I understand it, is purely about presentation
of the program code, interleaved with narrative documentation. It’s not
interactive. The next step beyond “literate” programming would have to be
something that lets you actually interact with the code, see how it
behaves, and what the effects of certain changes might be.

In other words, it would be like a Jupyter notebook.
