Similarly, I have written several smaller programs using my own literal programming tool, and although the experience is interesting as it forces you to think deeper at every step, I came to the same conclusion that the end result feels hard to return to, and that literate programming is no replacement for higher level languages.
My first contact with literate programming was through Haskell, which has built-in support for it. It was great for learning a new language and a new domain. I abandoned the practice for day to day work, but occasionally return to it if I have to unlock a new domain. To me, it is a lot like rubber-ducking.
