[comp.edu] literate programming & software readability

reslerd@ul.ie (02/07/91)

Since Knuth's 1984 article on `Literate Programming' there has been much 
discussion, both pro & con, concerning the validity of his approach. My 
question: is there any empirical evidence that using WEB actually improves a 
program's readability? If someone knows of work in this area I'd be very 
grateful if they could point me in the right direction. Thanks.
