Re: Clojure for VS2010
This sounds fantastic! Integrating the (doc) function with the F1 help system in some way would be helpful.

It's VS or die in the .NET world. Syntax highlighting, indentation, the REPL (including sending expressions from the editor), and the project system are most important. After that, I think some combination of integrating the editor with the REPL's doc function, .NET intellisense, and Clojure intellisense. There's some effort going on to potentially unify the REPL servers used by the IDEs, so keep an eye on that, as well.

Clojure for VS2010
Some background: I've been spending some of my free time providing by basic Clojure support in VS 2010. To be honest, I'm a bit of a Clojure newbie, so I figured something that would require me to build a lexer and parser for the language and delve into the clojure source would be a great way to learn while creating something other people might find valuable. For adoption, having first-class support in VS for clojure- clr would be huge. I've built syntax highlighting, brace matching, and some basic formatting helpers. I'm working on the REPL window and project/build system next. My hope is to get it to the point where a user can download the plugin, create a new project, get some basic boilerplate, build, execute and debug all from within Visual Studio. People who are using emacs won't be abandoning it, but I hope it'll help people with a .Net background get going quickly. I'm looking for input about what features I should focus on and just general comments on the worthiness of the project. I figure I'm bound to make mistakes by approaching this from a C/C++/C# programmer's perspective, and this might preclude that.
