No, this doesn't exist yet as far as I know. I have no idea how plugins / syntax extensions to Visual Studio work. I'm pretty sure the Python Tools for Visual Studio plugin is developed by Microsoft, Julia has nowhere near that level of official involvement from Microsoft that I know of.
The recent announcement of Visual Studio Community Edition being freely available for open-source work means this might be worth pursuing if you're really interested in using Visual Studio as an IDE for Julia. Express never supported plugins, but the community edition does. Tying into Visual Studio's debugger would probably be very hard. Maybe it would work okay if your Julia executable is compiled with MSVC, but that only barely functions right now - a few key LLVM intrinsics-related pieces are broken. Should improve with future versions of LLVM.
