I have done a similar thing to this before. A web app runs on the 
browser, and my server runs on my local computer. Web app sends 
requests to local server to access to file system, and all other 
things.

Considering this, we could develop the IDE as a web app, and lets 
say the IDE backend could be developed by using vibe.d, and it 
accesses to the D compiler and all other things.
