Yes. We're working on a rudimentary language service and we're hoping to get debugging on par with what IronPython provides today. The ETA for the debugging check-in is sometime next week. The language service will take a while longer to whip into shape, and we'll likely be showing it off at MIX. Keep in mind that this in no way is a complete language service. As the good folks over at Sapphire in Steel will tell you, there's a ton more work to do than just getting syntax coloring and debugging working (in their case it was actual work since they had to write a debugger and a scanner and parser). Today we don't have plans to fully productize IronRuby a'la C# or JScript in VS. Consider this the min bar of what my team will provide: syntax coloring, some kind of project system, and VS debugging support.
