I think the success of notebooks can provide a positive influence here.
They give text and readability a higher priority than traditional source code artifacts, and it really might only take a fresh IDE/plugin and comment meta-syntax to make that more normal in production code as well.

Agreed. It seems to me that doctests (i.e. code examples in docs that also count as tests, common in Python and Rust codebases) can possibly cover parts of this.
