i have seen those in annotated javascript documentation. but it was the other way around. (comment on the left, and code on the right). they all seem to use docco[0] with the option to display comment in "parallel". the author of docco used it in their library underscore[1].

I like this idea.

It could take literate programming [1] to the next level. Existing tools like docco [2] can output beautiful documentation [3] with comments set alongside code. The language/editor described above would allow us to input code in the same side-by-side format.

For those curious, he's referring to Docco:

Looks like Docco by Jeremy Ashkenas (CoffeeScript/BackBone.js fame) with some extra styling and a navigation bar up top.
