I suggest you ...

← Visual Studio

Publish the source code of the F# project plugin for Visual Studio

The source code of the compiler is already available, which makes it possible for users to experiment and customize the language (see for instance http://tomasp.net/blog/fsharp-variations-joinads.aspx). However, intellisense and error highlighting in Visual Studio is closed, which means it will choke on code that is valid "customized F#" but invalid "vanilla F#".
Opening the VS plugin would make it possible to keep the IDE and the language in sync.

        I have just noticed there is another similar suggestion for putting the project system on github. Might be a good idea to merge these two suggestions, if possible.

        Alternatively, making it possible to customize the background parser used for error highlighting and intellisense would work too.
