		snarfy on Oct 7, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Unix as IDE There really needs to be a standard interface that all compiler toolchains can deal with for emitting program structure. All implementations deal with this problem their own way. For C# there is OmniSharp based on NRefactory, and also Microsoft's Roslyn. For C++ there are tools based on libclang. Rust has Racer. It would be nice if there were an interface an editor could implement which gave access to all of these languages.

Wasn't Steven Yegge working on something like this for Google?

A toolchain to handle any/most languages?
