F# Compiler (Free)

F# is a variant of the ML programming language for Microsoft .NET and has a core language that is similar to OCaml. F# is a mixed functional/imperative/object-oriented programming language excellent for medium/advanced programmers and for teaching. It also can be used to access hundreds of .NET libraries, and the F# code can be accessed from C# and other .NET languages. This release of F# includes a command-line compiler; “F# for Visual Studio,” which provides interactive syntax highlighting, parsing, type checking, and intellisense for F# code inside Visual Studio 2003/2005/Orcas; and “F# Interactive,” a command-line, top-level environment for F#.

All these posts and no one mentions JCreator? It's probably one of the best IDEs I've ever used for Java, and it can even be installed on Linux (using Wine of course)

http://www.jcreator.com/

Another IDE I use regularly in Linux is KDevelop, which is a KDE based IDE, and I used it to write code on my fave languages, the only flipside to it is that I have to compile the code in console, but that's really nothing to me.

Actually.........jCreator was mentioned here:

OK, I think most people are taking it for granted because when developing using MS tools. Any associated components by MS are deem as "bundled". But hey, this is a MS web site which is following the fad of the IT development such as MVC (which is used by many great open source projects) but in MS flavor, ORM and etc . And the thing most of the tools or framework here is plug-gable to your MS tools and it is "free". This is a good place to start utilizing free developers tools and guidance packages provided by MS. So, not just Java or PHP are steering the open source development and misc good frameworks. MS has its answer too.

http://macromates.com/ the best... but only free to try

Qt 4.7.1 now available under lgpl, choose between VS2008 or MingW compilers (for windows) available on all major platforms, also comes with great documentation

newer versions for softwares/libraries/compilers already mentioned here:
- wxWidgets (2.8.11)
- SDL (1.2.14)
- netbeans 6.9.1
- code::blocks 10.05
- MingW 4.5

HeidiSQL, a free MySQL client. You can add/edit/delete databases / tables / columns in a similar way like phpMyAdmin, but the good thing is that it is a windows app hence faster response. Another I like about it is that every action you performed is translated to corresponding SQL query and displayed on bottom panel, a good way to learn SQL!
