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?
