I think it is not a problem. An IDE could switch (or enable) language backend
depending on current language. For C-like (or maybe statically typed in
general) languages (covering most of programming world) could use Semantic, for
other languages maybe something other (like tern for JS).

Does that mean that you don't want to reuse EDE, but reimplement everything
from scratch? Don't you think it would be better to reuse what already is and
just change parts of it to be more flexible?

Intellij's support for JavaScript is not so great. Compared to Java it is poor.
