Shell Literate programming first steps

Literate Programming with Clojure. But what if you want Literate Programming with C. Or Lua. Or...
And what did Knuth use? (I forgot)
Here one is taking a programming method and fencing it in to one language when it would have been far more helpful to a much wider audience if he stuck to the rules and logic of the method instead.

Sometimes learning logic and method only occurs after you have some concrete examples of how things work and you can best do that by using a specific language.

Personally I can't handle these abstractions until I have something which I can code and have working.
