Google by the voice of Chandler Carruth made this proposal a few days ago https://plus.google.com/u/0/108216155797501293389/posts/WDheftEoxMT
It aims at building a clang daemon to parse, compile, and generate informations about source code. Basically + multithreaded, distributed compilation + coherent support of the language (C/C++/ObjC) throughout IDEs or text editors ( formatting, syntax highlight, realtime report of compilation errors/warning, maybe static analysis ) The D community already is moving toward this direction as I can see ( Roman D. Boiko's proposal or Robert Schadek "Distributed Multithreaded Caching D Compiler" ) and that's awesome news ! Also the idea of getting compiler error/warning, formatting, syntax highlight as a service looks very sweet to me. A wonderful way to unite and keep everything in sync from text editor to more powerful IDEs.
