Java Jotters: Literate Programming in Java

Ruth Hoffmann
Wednesday 7 February 2024

This project is focused on creating a literate programming tool for the Java programming language. Literate programming can be described as the combination of documentation alongside executable code. Which enables developers to gain a greater understanding of the code they are writing, to improve developer experience, and to facilitate maintainability and readability. The code entered does not need to necessarily be complete or in order (within the rules of the plugin) to execute. This is implemented as a plugin to the IntelliJ IDE, where in a single Markdown file users can add their code snippets and view any code output.
