The question of goals for the stc is an important one, and hard to pin down. Clearly, TypeScript, rope and pylint succeed in their particular goals. I would be happy with a general frame work that did one or more of the following:: - Fast, accurate completions and type annotations as in TypeScript. - Refactorings, as in Rope. - Fast type checking, as in Pylint, but possibly with helps or other type assertions. All of these are clearly possible, so the task is not "Sisyphean".
