A couple of years ago I was quite impressed with the ease of adding Haskell to one of the Visual Studio IDE's. Then I learned that the free 2008 Shell could be used for F#. Today I have learned that Nemerle will pop itself into that shell by just running its MSI.
Only two things went wrong: the Shell defaults to creating projects up in "Documents and Settings" but kept failing when initiating a Windows desktop project. So I stopped using the default and created a VS_Projects directory over on a dev drive under a Nemerle folder. That popped up a simpler error where that folder was a bad path, in my case
'r:\Nemerle\'\VS_Projects
So I hopped into ENV vars and sure enough there it was: the value for Nemerle was set to a quoted
'r:\Nemerle\'
I stripped-off the quotes and the backslash and away things ran hummingly.
This quirk may only be for an install of Nemerle on XP.
Regardless, I am looking forward to some experiments with .Net libraries and a break from Eclipse.
