With VSCode becoming ever-popular it seems like there might be some value in getting org mode working there simply as a way of promoting org as an excellent literate coding notebook.

VSCode already has a halfway decent org-mode but it doesn=E2=80=99t support=
anything from Babel. I=E2=80=99m trying to think of relatively easy ways of= adding
that ability. Here=E2=80=99s a thought: Most of babel that technically work= s
against the document itself, it doesn=E2=80=99t really need much document integration with the editor. So could you get it working in vscode so long<= br> as someone has a properly configured version of emacs installed locally? =E2=80=9CEvaluate/Export/etc=E2=80=9D would just write the document, then u= se emacs to run
the appropriate commands on it and refresh the document view.

Of course features like the separate editor for src blocks and
folding #results would be nice too, but if the basics could work that would=
be a huge win for org.

Any thoughts on the feasibility of this?
