Natural Language Outlines for Code: Literate Programming in the LLM Era (arxiv.org)
2 points by bryanrasmussen 20 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment





posted this because it really seems like LLMs should make literate programming work, to blossom, but it hasn't.

Also because I was reading another article and it reminded me of a colleague that did not exactly do literate programming but nearly, sort of roughly outlining the code as they approached the solution - and that seems like a process an LLM would help.

on edit: I mean it hasn't for me or anyone I know, I know some people who have produced more code of lower quality, but that's not the goal.
