There are a number of interesting topics here. Like others, I would be very
keen to share my org-based projects with non-Emacs users. I also only have
very limited time & skills to contribute.  There is an existing extension
for org-mode on vscode here:
https://github.com/vscode-org-mode/vscode-org-mode.  That might be the best
place to help out. One piece of low-hanging fruit would be simply to add an
HTML renderer to that plugin (https://github.com/orgapp/orgajs is the
obvious choice). A full-on literate programming engine seems like a very
tough thing to engineer, but perhaps it's possible to imagine a new
architecture in which there are, as you suggest, various code
interpretation engines. It's an exciting idea; I wonder if it's possible to
explore the possibilities in a more concrete and structured way?
