When learning about [[http://software-lab.de/doc/ref.html][PicoLisp]] I
noticed that some of the very best programmers actually prefer just
reading code with minimal distraction by comments, so 'tunneling' is
probably not bad per se but rather a question of taste.

When its about programming work with just one language, you might try
outshine.el with outorg.el, if you work with several languages or its
more about publishing then actual programming, Org (Babel) should be
perfectly capable to do what you want.
