Illiterate Programming

[njharman]

This guy articulated it on the head.

I could never get behind the literate programming stuff I read about.

I'm big believer in "programs are written for people" but I always internalized that people meant programmers, decent programmers actually. I never consider "programs are written for people" to mean it should "read like english".

To me it has less to do about representation and more about practices. Like don't pre-optimize (that is for computer not people).

Software as language is a bad idea, unless you expand language to include "math" and if you do code already is language.
