Is there a way to do Scala programming in visual studio?

I have VS 2012 ultimate RC and recently I got interested in Scala so I was wondering is there a way(plugin) to do simple Scala programming in VS? Googling reveals some promises of it being possible but those informations are over a year old. I know Scala runs on JVM, but the info I mentioned mentions .Net version.

As of march '12 it wasn't possible:

Visual Studio supports step-debugging of Scala.NET programs but not their editing. Until a VS extension for Scala arrives, Scala.NET programs can be developed with an existing (JVM-based) IDE

Source paper

The project looks a bit abandoned.

Update: 8 September 2015

The Scala.NET project was discontinued (I believe due to low interest), Miguel Garcia who is the guy behind this backend switched to work on GenB
