    Hi Larry,

    In your article you say “literate programming is a mashup of programming and word processing (or spreadsheet processing)” which I believe is not really accurate. I suggest you take a look at the article by Donald Knuth at: http://www.literateprogramming.com/knuthweb.pdf

    The description as just a mashup of programming and word processing ignores the key elements of clarity and understanding. This disagreement aside, I enjoyed your article and found it interesting and informative. Thanks.

    I didn’t mean to short-change the claims of literate programming by referring to it as a “mashup.” I guess I was trying to be clever and, as per usual, that led to trouble…
