As part of Project 7, a Microsoft project with various language developers during the development of .NET a number of languages added VS support, ranging from simple syntax colouring and "makefile" project support to full integration. Mondrian, the simple functional scripting language, was one of these which I undertook, it's at the simple end. However I did not also add support for Haskell (I did a partial port [not speed optimised and many libraries missing] of GHC to .NET using Mondrian as a backend). Other languages integrated include Fortran (Salford), Cobol (Fujitsu) and Component Pascal (QUT).
Work-in-progress: VS integration of SML.NET (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/TSG/SMLNET/) We use COM interop and a bootstrapped (subset) compiler to get syntax highlighting, incremental parsing and type inference, intellisense of SML and .NET library functions, and build support. Also some support for debugging (breakpoints, stack trace, locals). We hope to release this implementation at some point. - Andrew.
