e.g., adaweb, cweb, mweb, etc.  So the "no" in <tt>noweb</tt> is
a triple pun:
<ul>
<li>A language-independent web, not limited to one programming
      language, hence web for no particular language or `<tt>noweb</tt>'.
<li>A contraction of `Norman's web'
<li>The third part of the pun is not suitable for publication.
</ul>

implementation language for Noweb&nbsp;3, rather
than, say, Python?
