It should probably be noted in this thread that Julia master can now be compiled using Visual Studio (2013, only really tested with 64 bit so far since I still need to build new LLVM binaries for 32 bit), see https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/7761 for instructions and more information. It can start up a basic REPL, but many operations don't work - there are issues with 128-bit integer intrinsics in LLVM, various headers that likely aren't preprocessed correctly yet, etc. And the "build system" is a hacky mess of a shell script, plus minor tweaks to the existing makefiles, that still has to run in msys. A much better long-term solution would be to start porting as much of Julia's build system to cmake as possible, downloading mingw binaries for any dependencies that can't be easily built using MSVC (openblas, arpack, gmp). This may eventually enable better debugging of Julia on Windows using native Visual-Studio-format debuggers rather than MinGW gdb.
