Its more like why do you want to know this/ What is the Point? Are you working on improvements? Researching Languages? What exactly are you interested in? Improvements in the toolchain? (ie. faster/smarter linker, precompiled header) Or changes in the language (standard) itself? (support for AOP, natice Signal/Slot, ) Your post reads as if you are mainly interested in the Parsing/Code Completion. AFAIK its Roberto Raggi who did the main work on these, and he seems to be quite busy right now.
