Programming as literature?

(the world according to YouTube)

When you upload videos to YouTube, you are prompted to add ’tags’ to identify its subject matter.

’Programming Language (Literary Genre)’? What the heck does that mean? Is there a literary genre of programming>?

P G Wodehouse’s ’Programming Code of The Woosters’ no doubt qualifies. And as for Dan Brown’s ’The Da Vinci Code’ - well need I say more?
