Not in the context of a length limited conference paper. An implementation adds details for memory allocation and use of data structures &c. This is a distraction in the exposition of an algorithm. It's useful if authors make a well commented implementation available, but the actual paper should contain an abstract definition of the algorithm.

No I was thinking of csmatt's suggestion, to automatically translate the math in the paper to something more accessible to programmers.
