Mono 3.2 - Hackdot

Re:Mono 3.2 by jnbiche on Thursday July 25, 2013 @07:08AM (#6101811)

Vala is an incredible project. With a relatively small number of contributors, it's turned into an easy language to work with, that can compile into shared libraries with automatic bindings for Python, Ruby, Lua, etc., and get near C performance. GTK bindings are pretty complete. With some effort (I hear -- never tried it), it can even run on Windows and OSX. Vala may be one of the most underrated Linux projects around.

What's wrong with Vala?

Vala looks interesting.

It would appear that with GTK libraries available on Windows and OSX, a port of a Vala app should be trivial. Valac compiles to C and then GCC takes over for the rest of it.

It seems like the most well-known Vala apps are managed in San Francisco by Yorba, however they're only for Linux. http://www.yorba.org/projects/

Any examples of cross-platform apps written in Vala?

the problem is that Vala is strongly linked with only gtk making impossible to use it with others ui libraries.
