A lot of information is available here:

https://author-tools.ietf.org/

Looking back at history, the Argon draft used to have example code:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-argon2-06#section-5

Does anyone recall why that was removed?

I think having example code included in crypto-related documents is
useful.  Even in todays world I run into well-deployed algorithms that
lack liberally licensed and simple to use (standalone) example
implementations that re-produce some published test vectors.  My most
recent example was DRBG-CTR-AES256.
