I'd never really thought about it like that: org-mode lets you create living documentation ...it documents the code and runs it...in all kinds of programming languages. Not to mention, it's an excellent, and maybe the best text-based tool for managing TODOs that exists. #emacs

@lobocode Its the paradigm of Literate Programming (coined by Donald Knuth), he literally wrote the book on it...

@lobocode Best literate programming framework/tool I've come across is Emacs' Org-mode/Babel
