Literate Programming

Literate programming (LP) is a programming paradigm introduced in 1984 by Donald Knuth in which a computer program is given as an explanation of how it works in a natural language, such as English, interspersed (embedded) with snippets of macros and traditional source code, from which compilable source code can be generated.

I use Org Mode to create such literate programmes using the features offerred by Org Babel↗ . Some example pages are listed below:

• Emacs config file
• graph.js
• gen_graph.py
• neighbour-utils.js
• neighbour-loader.js
• mobile-menu.js
• search.js
