Cool.
I just played around with R the other day and it would use MD too to generate HTML/PDF.
It uses Knitr.

The reason I chose lmt is that it correctly keeps the markdown language syntax of the code blocks. That means I can put my literate config into my Zettelkasten [1] or [2] and watch it pretty-print in the browser.
There are also literate [3] and org-babel [4], but I don't think they are future proof. .lit is a random format and .org basically requires Emacs+orgmode.

Literate/.lit: I don't know, I guess not.
Emacs/orgmode: Yes, this also does syntax highlight. And you can edit the code-block in a separate window as if it was a "real" source code file. I've been using this for almost two years now. Personal opinion: I don't think the benefits of Emacs outweight the cons.
