You're right, it's definitely not an easy task. I don't know if there's a
trend, but with the rate of new languages popping up, tool developers are
challenged to keep up, especially with dynamic languages that are even harder
to analyze statically.
You mentioned C++.. our institute is working on the refactoring tools for CDT
[1] (the Eclipse C++ IDE) and I'm working on refactoring tools for Scala.
