It's called "literate programming." I'm embarrassed of the state of this thing, but I think I'd be remiss if I didn't link to https://willshake.net/about https://willshake.net/about It's a graph of a system based (almost) entirely on documents. The documents create the documents. The documents create the graph. And of course, the documents contain the code. I can't make enough disclaimers about how rough the documents are, and even the graph is starting to collapse under its own weight. But I think it gets the idea across. If I've learned one thing, it's that this style of programming---where you're forced to document as you go---is extremely work-intensive.
