Noop plugin?

Hello Donald,

Shouldn't we wait until the language is actually designed and implemented
before starting work on a plugin? :)

Those Google guys are at it again:

I doubt that will be necessary.  Just wait until they figure out that almost* everything they are trying to do is already available in Scala, and then ship 'em the plugin you've already got.

* I'm not a Scala expert yet, so that "almost" may turn out to be unnecessarily conservative.

According to this, the IDEA Scala plug-in is already a requirement for developing Noop in IDEA!

Given that the noop interpreter and code-generator is written -IN- scala, I'm not surprised at that
