Open-source target: Hacker's Diet Online

So I've been using the exercises from the Hacker's Diet, an adaptation of the old 5BX standby we all know and love, and poking around Walker's site, I see that he's put together an online service you can use to track your Hacker's Diet data (scroll down to the bottom for code references). And the fascinating thing about that site is not just that it's open source, but that it is the first actual instance of literate programming using Nuweb I've ever seen in the wild. [Note to self: poke around that site's links some more.]

It deserves praise for that alone.
