Vala was my first introduction to OOP and since I was always working in a Unix environment C# was not an option for me. The bindings to develop GTK-based applications were good enough but still today I believe that using tools like Glade writing a GTK-based app in any other language is as easy as it is with Vala, the only advantage is that I can compile to C without having to write C all the time. It has worked well for me, and was able to create corporate applications in the past. I don't use it with the same frequency now because of my current job, but it is still in my list of programming languages that I want to use for personal projects along with C++ and (recently) Go. For people interested in the language I suggest them to take a look at Elementary OS documentation, they are one of the most popular projects using Vala in production and I am sure they will appreciate any contribution from beginners and experience developers: https://elementary.io/developer https://elementary.io/developer — https://github.com/trending/vala https://github.com/trending/vala
