    The code generated after compilation does not demand many system features, and can be invoked from some boot code in a straightforward manner – it is simple to execute. The C language statements and expressions typically map well on to sequences of instructions for the target processor, and consequently there is a low run-time demand on ...

    nested block structure: code sequences and associated declarations could be grouped into blocks without having to be turned into separate, explicitly named procedures; lexical scoping: a block could have its own private variables, procedures and functions, invisible to code outside that block, that is, information hiding.

    Web is a computer programming system created by Donald E. Knuth as the first implementation of what he called "literate programming": the idea that one could create software as works of literature, by embedding source code inside descriptive text, rather than the reverse (as is common practice in most programming languages), in an order that is convenient for exposition to human readers ...
