A little hard to follow? Only because I've never seen it before. This is a great idea.

The publishing of code-as-narrative or code alongside narrative is something that will slip into the mainstream, maybe in our lifetimes.

Imagine a day when code is published on the New York Times homepage, alongside some Silicon Valley luminary's commentary.
