  The article does mention Knuth, the author of three of the books you mention.

    I think it would be more accurate to say the "most code is not literature" since it is not documented in a fashion which makes it readable --- and it would be more interesting if the examination/re-writing of the code was done in a literate fashion. The largest project I ever did (typesetting back-end for an on-line interactive ad design system) was done as a literate program, and over the course of years of maintenance was far easier to work with than other smaller code bases which I hadn't taken the effort to so structure and document. Arguably, I need to re-work my present project thus: https://willadams.gitbook.io/design-into-3d/ https://willadams.gitbook.io/design-into-3d/
