Does anyone know of an IDE for F# development that does not involve me shelling out $300? I will gladly move to F# VS Express if they ever release one, but spending money to just get started with a new language is not in my budget.

Visual Studio Shell - Free, and F# supports it out of the box.

It looks like the latest beta version of SharpDevelop (3.0) has F# support. SharpDevelop is an open source IDE, something of a Visual Studio clone. I used it years ago when I was somewhere too cheap to buy Visual Studio.

Thank you both. I wish it were possible to accept two answers. :) I'll just settle for upvoting them both.
