Literate programming is a programming paradigm introduced by
Donald Knuth in which a computer program is given an
explanation of its logic in a natural language, such as
English, interspersed with snippets of macros and
traditional source code, from which compilable source code
can be generated. The approach is used in scientific
computing and in data science routinely for reproducible
research and open access purposes. Literate programming
tools are used by millions of programmers today.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming>
It is? Mix English and macros and source to generate code?
Sounds like a bad idea if you ask me but who am I to argue
with millions of programmers?
Anyone has an example of this?
