Effectively Building Language Tools

" summary

A proof-of-concept installs a TypeScript compiler in the cloud via npm and integrates it with Cloud9 so server-side compilation and client RPC provide errors, documentation and completions. The system exposes a simple functional extension API (analyze, outline, complete) so third parties can add language support, and demos show editor error markers and working completions.
