There are actually many uses, especially if it becomes possible to treat 
language elements (functions, classes etc) as outline elements
(cf. 
https://github.com/notestaff/outshine/blob/outshine-lang/outshine-lang.el ). 
  Sparse trees and agenda views could be used to find all code elements 
related to a particular aspect of functionality, if items
related to that aspect are tagged with a tag.  Sparse trees could show
just the public (interface) elements.  Basically, outshine with the full 
power of Org and the ability to treat language elements as outline 
headings would add up to the first literate programming system I'd call 
usable.
