Seconded.
And we should really make this as self-contained as possible: currently
the manual at
<https://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html#Sweave-and-AUCTeX> says
Libraries for literate data analysis are obsolete and not loaded by
default. This includes ess-noweb, ess-swv, and related functionality
like Rnw-mode. Users are encouraged to switch to one of several other
packages that deal with these modes. For example, polymode
https://github.com/polymode/poly-R/, https://polymode.github.io/, or
markdown-mode with edit-indirect
https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode.
and I am not sure from the first two what I should do for Sweave (which
I use all the time) or Rmarkdown (which I never use due to the lack of
ESS support) ...
Best
