Wow, this looks like an awesome project. As a pretty fanatic Emacs user who doesn't much like IDEs, I've always wanted a nice editor-agnostic IDE ecosystem that I could just plug into Emacs. I've seen language-specific things, which are great but naturally linked to their language, and Emacs-specific monstrosities like CEDET, but never anything trying to be truly universal.

Very promising.

For some reason though, I can't help but mentally parse "Srclib" as "Scribd" :/.

Thanks for the kind words! Please send feedback/complaints.

Re: the name "srclib", I was on the phone with our domain registrar when we got srclib.org/com, and the rep referred to it as "Sr. Clib" (as in "SeƱor Clib"). So that's stuck in our heads now. :)
