Most of the hard work for implementing smart completions was already
done (and yes, it took many years). We have the necessary infrastructure
and fairly well working parsers for C/C++, Java, Python, Fortran90, and
others. Yes, there is still a lot of work to do, and more contributors
would be nice, for sure, but it is absolutely doable.
