Web
WEB is a computer programming system created by
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Donald Knuth as the first implementation of what he called
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"literate programming": the idea that one could create
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
software as works of literature, by embedding bits of code
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
inside descriptive text, rather than the reverse as is common
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
practice in most programming languages.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The WEB system consisted of two primary programs: tangle,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
which produced compilable Pascal
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
code from the source texts, and weave, which produced
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
nicely-formatted printable documentation using TeX.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A newer version of WEB is CWEB.
