Well, implementing symbol resolution is a pretty huge task. I'd estimate it accounts for at least 60% of the time I spend working on Cursive. Cursive's implementation isn't open source, but even if it were it's very tied to the IntelliJ infrastructure and wouldn't be very useful. Cursive is internally structured around an extension API which I'm going to open source along with the current implementations so in theory those implementations could be used with another core indexing engine implementing the same API, but like I say it's a pretty enormous task. You'll need a good indexing engine which is much harder than it sounds - the one in IntelliJ is really amazing, you definitely don't want to develop that yourself if you can avoid it.
In general, I think it's extremely difficult to retrofit this sort of system into an editor such as LightTable that wasn't designed to use it from the start. IntelliJ's indexing is fundamentally integrated into the infrastructure, it's not something that you could easily bolt on with a plugin.
