Why isn't literate programming mainstream? [closed]
The Literate Programming system that Knuth designed did much, much more than immediately meets the eye, namely it overcome many shortcomings in the underlying programming language that the code generation tool generated from Knuths source document, namely standard Pascal.
Literate programming vs reasonably documenting your code
Jul 23, 2020 · README.md is the modern day heir to literate programming is a bit different than it is possible to partially emulate literate programming by symlinking README.md to a source code file (i.e. having a polyglot of e.g. markdown and Java). –
Literate programming, good/bad design methodology
Literate Programming tools can be quite simple if they're focused on modern, high-level object-oriented (or functional) programming languages. There is less need for elaborate workarounds because of the limitations of C (or Pascal or Assembler).

Using "iff" in documentation - Software Engineering Stack Exchange
Nov 18, 2024 · @freakish: it is unclear whether the OP meant "documentation in source code" or "separate documentation". Maybe they have literate programming in mind - which uses TeX for creating the docs, which is surely capable of adding footnotes ;-). But don't get me wrong, I agree that footnotes are impractical for source code docs.
Using π, φ, λ etc. as variable names while programming?
