JetBrains and Nemerle

June 27th, 2012 by Hadi Hariri

Last week JetBrains made a decision to bring on board the Core developers behind a project called Nemerle.

Nemerle is an Open Source project that provides a statically typed programming language for .NET, similar to C#. Recently it has been in the spotlight, with a few sessions on it at NDC, as well as an appearance on the popular podcast .NET Rocks.

N2

The main focus of the Nemerle team at JetBrains will be N2, a language framework that’s primary goal is to make the development of languages and tools as easy and simple as possible, opening up great potentials for us at JetBrains, where our main focus is developer tools.

We are extremely excited about this project and happy to bring Nemerle under the JetBrains umbrella and thus guaranteeing the viability of the N2 project.

As we have more information and development advances, we will be sure to keep you up to date.

    !!!! Didn’t see this one coming, but congrats. If you put Nemerle in one of you IDEs, or dare I say…Resharper, my mouth will hit the floor (and most likely my mouse on the buy button will go “click”). Looking forward to see how this turns out.

    Things are getting more and more interesting.

    Nice one. Metaprogramming in Nemerle is great. Maybe a little too much since you can pretty much define any possible construct, leading to potentially horrible code in the wrong hands, but hey, it’s a tool, we just have to use it correctly.

    That being said, I really look forward for an IDE with great Nemerle support. Those are great news! Don’t forget C# though ;)

    I love Nemerle but the biggest frustration is the lack of tools and IDE integration. Now it’s been picked up by the worlds #1 provider of tools & integration - I am very much looking forward to see where you guys take it!

    Looking forward to get good Nemerle support in VS as well as truly comfortable framework to build new languages (especially, DSLs which are used far less frequently than they should be).
