Step 1: Write a language lexer for QScintilla to support syntax highlighting (Alternative: extend Pygments) Step 2: Write a parser to support the class browser Step 3: Write a parser (or reuse the one of step 2) to support source documentation and API file generation Step 4: Write a debugger backend in your language for use with the eric IDE Step 5: Patch the various places that are language specific.
