Literate programming

[Harshad Shirwadkar]
(From wikipedia)
Literate programming 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 think org mode makes the concept of literate programming a lot more tangible. Google colab or Jupyter notebooks is another simple way in which literate programming is made available.
