Pardon the delayed response, I'm not sure if this will still reach you but I'll type it nonetheless.
I unfortunately am not very fast at reading Tex so I could not quite grasp it. My main touch points with literate programming were probably iPython Notebooks and ObservableHQ. I like interspersing code with (rich) text, and starting with a top-down view of a codebase is imo also the way to go.
I'm less sure about the macro bits, I have yet to see a language where it makes for sane means of abstraction. It certainly solves for a hole in our meta-programming design space, but I don't think we've found the right hammer for that nail yet.
From the ones I know of, Pharo is probably closest to my vision, though it is still very far from it, being brutally OOP (the obtuse kind, for me at least) and it still puts a wall between code and visualization. A wall which I intend to tear down.
Thanks for the Hesse recommendation, first time I'm getting one in my native german on this site.
