#literateprogramming — Public Fediverse posts

I recently got back to my work on literate #GRASP, and I think things finally started to look good. I implemented a new document representation (the previous one was built from cons-cells and multiple hacks), and I have some working tests that are capable of rendering this representation to "unicode-art" strings, and I'm currently working on a new parser that would work well with that representation.

I still have a long way to go before I get a running system, and I don't think it's a very good literature, but if you're a #Scheme maniac or a fan of #LiterateProgramming and you don't find the #Java runtime environment too repulsive, I invite you to follow the work and provide your feedback:

https://github.com/panicz/grasp/blob/main/literate/grasp.org

Currently, when exported to pdf, the document has about 100 pages, and it mainly describes language extensions that were developed for Kawa Scheme to develop GRASP. I think it might be a delight to people who enjoy studying language extensions, but unfortunately the part about the architecture and implementation of GRASP has yet to be developed.

(the document is written in #Emacs #OrgMode using its #noweb component for literate programming. I recommend reading it from Emacs rather than from its github preview)

1990's literate programming: this is the future! everyone will be writing software like this!

We should revisit literate programming in the agent era

My contribution to this month's Emacs Carnival, *An ode to org-babel*, as hosted by @donaldh.

Really enjoying this month’s #Emacs Carnival on #orgmode — especially the focus on #orgbabel!
Huge thanks to @donaldh for curating the topics.

For me, #orgbabel is where documentation, data, and computation truly meet — it turns notes into living, reproducible workflows.

I’ve written down why I think org-babel is a *ROOT technology*:

@alxlg Interesting, but I need actual TeX, because I'm using #noweb for #literateprogramming. Is #Typst #freesoftware?

#Tech #Rant One thing I dislike about #LiterateProgramming in #OrgMode is that code chunks are not cross-referenced or labeled in the finished document, as they are in #noweb. #GNU #Linux #Emacs #programming

Make an #IXML grammar for #jlang so I can make a #literateprogramming tool.

What do other #OrgMode #OrgBabel users do in #emacs when they need to create a new block very similar to the previous one while #LiterateProgramming? 🤔

Do you have a function or do you just do it manually like:

C-c C-v C-p ;; org-babel-previous-src-block
M-h ;; org-mark-element
M-w ;; kill-ring-save
C-x C-@ ;; pop-global-mark

I find I run into this case a lot, do others?

In July, we'll celebrate the 50th (or 10th) anniversary of that seminal presentation @worrydream on the #FutureOfProgramming.

Coupled with Victor's work on Learnable Programming, I find links to #LiterateProgramming... which tie nicely with the diverse ways we have to create learning resources, especially #OERs leveraging #FreeSoftware tools. #Jupyter, #Quarto, #PreTeXt, etc.

#emacs package/blog/literate program of the day: `ob-p5js`

I wrote this package during an afternoon in a #LiterateProgramming fashion, maybe some people have never seen how to write #OrgBabel packages in #OrgMode. Also if you don't know #processing, #p5 or #p5js it might be a good resource to get motivated!

What I like about this is that I can write many interactive visualizations in the same html file with #OrgMode seamlessly.

Has anybody tried #LiterateProgramming for a non-trivial tool?
(Yes, I know about Axiom already.)

Maybe even with #orgmode and #noweb? Maybe #Python? Maybe using a public repository?
