  6. Donald Knuth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth

    Knuth embodied the idea of literate programming in the WEB system. The same WEB source is used to weave a TeX file, and to tangle a Pascal source file. These in their turn produce a readable description of the program and an executable binary respectively. A later iteration of the system, CWEB, replaces Pascal with C, C++, and Java. [46]
