I can't speak for Dimitri, but Org-mode can send code from a BEGIN_SRC block to an appropriate interpreter, and put the results in the buffer of your choice (often the same buffer). And it can do so more or less automatically, which some people use to keep the examples in a document up-to-date or to ensure the tests still pass.
Sort of like how people use Jupyter notebooks today (mixed prose and executable code).
