### Typography of code

Aka Code color sheme, coding font, typeface for developers

Color and fonts

Comment shouldn't use grey, but more visible color like red, because it's important.

### Notebook

Aka document code

* Jupyter Notebook (IPython Notebook) .ipynb
* Literate CoffeeScript .litcoffee .coffee.md

two-column [Docco](http://ashkenas.com/docco/)

* [Notebook interface - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notebook_interface)

* [CoffeeScript](http://coffeescript.org/#literate)
* [Literate programming - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming)

### Outline

Also called Document map.

Outline important elements like :

* pages
* sections and sub-sections
* titles and sub-titles
* Objects : packages, classes, methods, properties, etc.

### Minimap

Graphical dezomed view of document like navigator panel in Photoshop

### Code hightlighting

Aka syntax hightlighting

* [Syntax highlighting is a waste of an information channel • Buttondown](https://buttondown.email/hillelwayne/archive/syntax-highlighting-is-a-waste-of-an-information/)

### Code flow

Save all calls, contexts (like closures), parameters, time, duration

### Code reload

* live reloading: reload completely, loose the app state
* hot reloading: reload partial parts, but keep current app state

Works easily for [declarative code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming). It's more complicated for [imperative code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperative_programming) (or [procedural code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_programming)), where the code controle the app state with control flow

> Declarative programming contrasts with imperative and procedural programming. Declarative programming is a non-imperative style of programming in which programs describe their desired results without explicitly listing commands or steps that must be performed
