This sounds like the Grok project that Steve Yegge described in his post about software conservatives and liberals (https://plus.google.com/110981030061712822816/posts/KaSKeg4v...). Anybody know if it's the same project?

I think an interesting possible application of this tool would be source-to-source compilation between languages. For example, once Objective-C support is added, could Kythe be the basis for something like j2objc?

Kythe is indeed based on the Grok project that Steve described in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTJs-0EInW8

Exactly what I thought. It's great to finally get a look at it after all these years.
