Microsoft is readying a preview of Visual Studio for Mac, which is an 'evolution' of the Xamarin Studio IDE.



From All About Microsoft:

The article described Visual Studio for Mac as "a macOS counterpart of the Windows version of Visual Studio," with a look and feel "inspired by Visual Studio, yet designed to look and feel like a native citizen of macOS."

As Tim Anderson of ITWriting noted, this isn't actually a port of the Windows version of Visual Studio to Mac; instead, it's a rebranding of Xamarin's technology. Microsoft bought mobile-tool vendor Xamarin in February 2016.
