    The closest thing to a "GitHub like community" of literate programmers would be Observable. See https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/a-taste-of-observable?collection=@observablehq/overview as a quick overview. To plug my own work, I have written https://observablehq.com/@mjbo/genre-map-explorer-for-spotify in a literate style, and many of the Observable community are similar adherents to literate programming.

    I am not a big fan of the complex literate programming style involving code-generation which this article talks about. But I recently discovered that Google's zx [1] scripting utility supports executing scripts in markdown documents and I combined it with httpie [2] and usql [3] for a bit of quick and dirty automation testing and api verification code and it worked out pretty well.
