Re:Literate programming: Knuth is doing it wrong (2014) on Sunday January 09, 2022 @08:59AM (#29863257)
These are entirely different things. Literate programming tells you what the code does in large code bases and why it is correct.

Notebooks are used for small snippets, many of them trivial. The comments usually tell you what the buggy snippet is supposed to to. They are more like Powerpoint.
