Literate Programming (Def)

I love that I stumbled across this on an old internet friend’s site:

Literate Programming is a concept introduced by the renowned computer scientist Donald Knuth.

This methodology entwines code with documentation, promoting a deep and integral relationship between the two, resulting in improved comprehension and maintainability of programs.

This speaks to who I am so well: linking once-separate concepts into one. I’d love to do this with my dotfiles. The library he uses to do this is: https://pypi.org/project/md-tangle/
