Ask HN: Literate Programming 'In the Wild'?

4 pointswcerfgba3 comments

Does anyone know of any companies using literate programming? What about open source libraries? It always seemed like a really appealing idea to me, but I've never encountered it in the wild.

Notebooks (jupyter, rmarkdown, pluto) qualify as literate programming right?

If they do, then the list of companies is huge.

Yes good point! I guess I am thinking of non-data science type work, are people using LP outside of notebooks?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_(computer_algebra_system... is a literate program.
