Is Haskell for Visual Studio 2005 compatible with VS2008 SP1 ?
The answer to your original question is a No. The code for visual haskell is written in Haskell and talks via COM to visual studio. Now the problem is, that even if you update the com wrappers to be compatible with the new visual studios you’d still be stuck using a ghc 6.6 simply because it relied on internal structures of the compiler to work, some of which have already been removed from 6.8 going forward.
So any effort on this part will require a complete rewrite of plugin.
Now the good new is I am busy writing a version for visual studio 2010 (sorry no 2008) but supposedly I could release it as a standalone isolated shell for those who don’t have vs 2010 (need to check the license more closely).
I only have time to work on it in the weekends, So I project (no promises) that I’ll have a first version out around july.
