That's awesome! What I'm hoping for is a "decoupling layer" that allows every text editor, IDE, and other code tool on the planet to hook into one end, and every language, compiler, interpreter, etc. to hook into the other. If I'm writing a new language (which, of course, I am) I know how important tooling is. But I don't use vim or Emacs so I personally don't care about vim or Emacs. Sublime Text maybe. It would be nice if I could upload a thing somewhere for my language and suddenly GitHub gets syntax highlighting for it and every editor and IDE in the world suddenly supports all the IntelliSense-like things for it. But we don't do it that way. Each of us has to re-invent 18 wheels. Needless to say, I hope approaches like yours and Kythe succeed. Then we can focus on the obvious utility of adding more metadata to our programs.
