Literate programming
Literate programming is an approach to software development where code and its explanation are written together in a single document. Think of it as a detailed narrative or story that describes what the program does and why, while including the actual code in a way that's easy to read and understand. This makes the code more maintainable and accessible to humans, as it combines technical instructions with clear reasoning and context. The tool then extracts the executable code from this narrative, ensuring that the documentation and implementation stay synchronized.
