Description

Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern programming language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to applications and libraries written in C.

valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source code. It is also planned to generate GIDL files when GObjectIntrospection is ready.

The syntax of Vala is similar to C#, modified to better fit the GObject type system.
