+1 for the talk on "Literature Programming in the Large" (linked in the post above.)

Mr. Daly, your chat was formative for me as I made the switch to literate programming (primarily with org/org-babel) in most of my work and personal projects. While I'd love to see what was in your slides, I'm glad the talk turned out "off the cuff." Thank you!

The slides basically show examples from other literate programs.

I also intended to give a live demonstration of literate code development, as outlined above.

It only takes a minute or so to start from the PDF to create a running, tested version of Clojure running in Java, along with a new PDF. I intended to demonstrate changing both code and data in real time.
