I like the point about non-textual representations of code. I actually use  
Scheme (using ChezWEB for LP) and APL. APL has workspaces and allows you  
to create interactive documentation inside of your actual code  
environment. I haven't figured out the best practices yet, but I think  
there is much potential in that model.
