Knuth Donald E. Literate Programming

Stanford University, USA, 1992. - 368 p.Literature of the program genre is performable by machines, but that is not its main purpose. The computer programs that are truly beautiful, useful, and profitable must be readable by people. So we ought to address them to people, not to machines. All the major problems associated with computer programming - issues of reliability, portability, learnability, maintainability, and efficienty - are ameliorated when programs and their dialogs with users become more literate. Literate programming is still a fairly new concept, still in its infancy, still undergoing much-needed experimentation.Computer Programming as an Art
