treating programmes as works of literature is a notion which was introduced by DonaldKnuth (the author of TeX), and has been subsequently developed over time into several fully fledged programming environments. By writing programmes as texts primarily intended for a human reader, rather than a machine, it is surmised that programmes improve in quality, clarity, and accuracy of documentation, as well as being a pleasure to write (and of course read).
