Hi, I don't think there are any current work on exposing the AST to external tools, that is debuggers and the like. The internal AST has all kinds of internal annotations, so it is not feasible for exposing directly. It might be possible to experiment with serializing the AST as JSON for the AfterCompile event. The pretty printer has some support for printing the AST in JSON format, see class JsonAstBuilder in src/prettyprinter.*. This was intiially added in http://codereview.chromium.org/131101.
There is work in progress on the parser in V8, which you can follow in the tree, but that focuses mainly on making a better pre-parsing abilities.
