Literate Programming on a Team Project

چکیده
We used literate programming on a team project to write a 33,000line program for the Synthesizer Generator. The program, Penelope, was written using WEB, a tool designed for writing literate programs. Unlike other WEB programs, many of which have been written by WEB's developer or by individuals, Penelope was not intended to be published. We used WEB in the hope that both our team and its nal product would bene t from the advantages often attributed to literate programming. The WEB source served as good internal documentation throughout development and maintenance, and it continues to document Penelope's design and implementation. Our experience also uncovered a number of problems
