Possibility to port vshaskell to VS2008?
Because my university is in the MSNDAA-program I could download the new Visual Studio 2008 Professional, what I've done today. Now I tried to install the vshaskell-extension to start learning Haskell but the installer only quits with the message that (of course) VS2005 is not installed. Now is my question if I have to download the "old" VS2005 or if it is somehow possible to get this extension running with VS9.0? I already tried to use the EclipseFP-plugin so I already have (win)hugs, ghc and haddoc installed (if it helps for the problem above). The problem with this plugin was that Ctrl+Space does apparently not work for code hints and because I'm just started to learn the language, I don't know every keyword... So I have to look it up everytime somewhere, I want to implement something new. The fact that Prelude.hs and others are plain text are a great help, but what I have seen in the screenshot at http://www.haskell.org/visualhaskell/screenshots.html would be much better...
It might be even better to port it to the freely available downloadable Visual Studio Shell: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vsx2008/products/bb933751.aspx The F# plugin works for that environment, giving a very good free IDE.

Yes, the VS Shell indeed looks an attractive platform, because it's free. It'd be great if someone wanted to port Visual Haskell to the VS Shell.

Yes, would be really nice. And in the meanwhile update it to GHC 6.8.2 and add support for debugging/stepping now that GHC supports it :-) Peter On Mon, 2008-01-14 at 08:45 +0000, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:
