I wonder if the weaving in literate code is one of the things that could only have been invented to deal with Pascal. It is useful to be able to rearrange the presentation even in JavaScript, but I doubt it would be enough of a pain point for people to invent weaving in an alternate history were literate programming was born on more flexible languages.
