2/ Thanks to asciitex for making my #LaTeX embeddable in my source code since I've restrained myself from any #literateprogramming. <a href="http://asciitex.sourceforge.net" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://asciitex.sourceforge.net

3/ I feel like #literateprogramming shines when the code being described is a gem, but for most code—even if there’s a gem at its heart—is just shoveling coal from one container to another. #programming

2/ This comment sums up my experience with #literateprogramming: It’s great for tutorials! And it’s less useful for run-of-the-mill code. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17483712

Heute habe ich mir die Frage gestellt: Was wäre, wenn es nicht hieße "Der Code ist Dokumentation genug" sondern "Die Dokumentation ist Code genug"?

Oder auch: Wie sieht #literateprogramming heute aus?

I started a @zotero group to compile your wonderful literate programming examples, so others can benefit from the replies on this thread—please join/contribute if this topic is of interest! https://www.zotero.org/groups/4731524/literateprogramming

Code could use way more ascii diagrams. If not #literateprogramming then how about a little more picture book programming?

I wrote a little about "literate programming" used to implement proof assistants, mostly about the "literate programming".

Org-mode looks good for #literateprogramming but I’d be hesitant to use it because it requires #Emacs and org-mode does not have a spec. #programming https://www.offerzen.com/blog/literate-programming-empower-your-writing-with-emacs-org-mode

So, I'm watching a youtube video and what do I see? A quote of mine. Ha! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dljNabciEGg HT @howardabrams #literateprogramming
