+# Literate Programming for the 21st Century

+
+Donald Knuth’s idea of *literate programming* in the 80’s and 90’s was
+interesting, but he didn’t realize what Emacs and Org can do in this
+century. In this talk, I would like to go back your initial *dabblings*
+with Org `src` blocks to show how you can program *literately* as quickly
+as you can in any other mode.
+
+Some of the tips and tricks include:
+
+- Automatically keeping your lit code sync’d
+- Easier code generation
+- Jumping to Org headers to help organize code
+- Jumping to code definitions with the xref interface
+
+At the end of this talk, I hope to inspire you to try it again, as my
+personal “go to” is *programming literately*.
+
+I will be following the format and outline in my essay:
+<https://howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/literate-writ-large.html>
+
+About the speaker:
+
+About ten years ago, I gave a talk I called *literate devops* and people
+still ask me if I still use those techniques. For all my personal
+projects, I do. Even projects that I share with others, I often *start*
+programming with an Org file.
+
+I will admit, programming within Org blocks has some burrs, but over
+the years, I’ve filed them off with helper functions, snippets and
+other features. Thought I would share these.
