Vala is.. good and bad. (Like most things.)
Certainly successful at bringing new developers into the Gtk world (especially thanks to elementary OS and its developer documentation). Familiar syntax for C# devs.
The downside is, well, memory bugs. For example, sometimes perfectly reasonable Vala code results in error messages like "Unable to parse accelerator '\u0008\x8dn\u000b\u0008': ignored request to install 501 accelerators" or downright segfaults: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vala/issues/626 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vala/issues/626
