Using org-mode for literate programming isn't entirely unheard of.



I guess I had never seen literate programming taken to such an extreme before. This was an actual surprise for me.


This has been my go-to way of programming anything where I'm the primary person responsible for it.

With pandoc you get a system that can export to any format under the sun. The highlight so far was exporting a problematic code portion with the literate explanation around it and a pretty basic asymptotic analysis in latex to docx, code highlighting, math formulas, tables all worked without human intervention. It ended up in a power point that I'm told was very well received.
