I'm surprised literate programming[0] never really caught on. Rather than have separate documentation, the paradigm is completely different. Source code generation is interspersed with the abstract flow of thoughts that one usually has while developing. This style of coding seems to be natural to me, as many algorithms are a set of discrete steps in an abstract sense. Implementing concrete steps and then describing their abstract counterparts seems sort of backwards to me.
