It is a good resource. Drawabox doesn't actually teach you how to rotate cubes. That was pretty frustrating to me. I created a little game which doesn't explain it, but allows you to practice and get feedback: https://c

Yeah, I'm not referring to drawing which is copying. > There's very little that can be taught about drawing. While drawing from the imagination is largely about using the intuition. The intuition can be trained just like the mo

Taking a look. For the past two years I've been thinking about drawing. Why it's difficult, how its possible for people like Kim Jung Gi to draw from their imagination. My theory is that it's a learned thing (as opposed to in

Cool project. I have a dream to make something like this for drawing spatially. Came to the parent to share my current project which spell checks websites. It found a few small typos on your site. https://www.spl.ing/report-

I created a website spellchecker/proofreader ( https://spl.ing ). We use aws step functions for the actual processing, it's very cool tech! Reply with your websites, and I'll run a few checks!

Perhaps, just judge the content.

That is so fucking great.

Literate programming requires that there is freedom in ordering content in the literate file. Otherwise, you are restricted to the execution order of the computer. The intent of literate programming is to circumvent that requisite. Otherwis

Here is an updated example, because a few people were asking for a more complex example. This is the literate version of the root of the program. *Note that the markdown doesn't include links (in the macro names) like the html, it&#x27

If you follow the project, I'm currently writing up the src in literate style :).

This is a feature I'm looking to add. It was designed to be included. When I parse the lit file, I record the line no. which will be represented in comments in the generated source file. Hopefully, this will mitigate some of the extra

There should be an HTML class. In the resulting docs I still need a way to separate them from the underlying language (that could be anything). Initially I thought `<<>>` looked archaic, but its rather unique and probably the sy

This is my opinion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8185142 In some cases LP won't provide a benefit over commenting. But the idea is that you step outside of the rules of the language (or more appropriately the in

Its no different then defining a function and calling it later (and proceeding to change the function name in several places). There are tools that generate a TOC based on markdown headers. I'm not sure I understand. There is also no m

Literate coffescript falls under one one of the pseudo literate tools, i.e. just nice comments. Not to discredit that approach, its just a compromise for most of the benefit. Many of those tools avoid the extra step of having to expand macr

My program has only the two constructs `<<>>` and `<<>>=` which you could rather easily alter. src/Processing.he and src/Parse.hs

I really need a more mature example to show, which will be coming soon. However, many tools exist which are just eesentially auto documentation (java docs, literate Haskell, docco). Mine is the simplest iteration of a true literate programm

I need to read more of Knuth on literate programming. The plan is to finish the source in literate style.

The narrative doesn't have to jump all over the place. If anything, defining macros allows you greater flexibility. Also, using macros allows for defining different levels of languages that encapsulate a "single-responsibility&quo

The project is still early, and the html generation is rudimentary. Will be working soon to validate. Not sure what you mean by appearing twice. I debated removing the "<< >>" syntax in the generated html, but I don&#x

I think the greatest motivation for literate programming is providing context. After five minutes of reading, you can have a very good high level understanding of a complex program. This just isn't achievable in the same amount of time
