[OS X TeX] Has anyone been doing anything Jupyter-like using TeX/TeXshop?

Or is there some other amazing breakthrough in terms of document creation?
I'm sort of stalled on my current project (I'll spare folks the details) --- currently it's in GitBook, and I'm using a couple of esoteric programming languages/systems and I'd like to re-work the thing using a Literate Programming system, but I'm not finding a good fit.
I've considered Jupyter Notebook, and even gave the on-line version a go for one brief project, but I find the distributed architecture of it confusing --- TeXshop w/ its single binary (and matching TeX distribution) is far easier to wrap my mind around, though I wonder if using LyX would be a good fit or no. That said, coming back to TeXshop does have its appeal, but it was disheartening downloading the .md files from Gitbook, using something (Pandoc?) to convert them to .tex and then looking at all the broken links.
Things were much simpler back when I just used TeXwrite on my Windows tablet to just write out .tex files and made/used the odd PDF....

Is there a Literate Programming system suited to use in TeXshop which can be easily used for arbitrary programming languages? I was considering LyX and Knitr was suggested for it, but not really feeling it's a good fit.
Just found:

and wondering what to make of it....
So, thoughts on:
 - what literate programming system to use with TeXshop (or some other editor)? - where such ideas are being discussed?
Thoughts and comments would be welcome, esp. if someone had a suggestion on where to research/discuss this sort of thing --- naturally folks are welcome to tell me (privately) that I should quit procrastinating and just get back to writing/programming.
