Is it pronounced va'-lay [1] or vehl [2] 1. Vale: it's worth it, fine, in Spanish 2. Vale: an area of lowland between hills or mountains, in English

  the first pronunciation is also a latin form of salute, akin to "farewell".

    Literally "stay healthy" (same thing as "salute" which is "be healthy / safe"). Might be an apt connotation for a language that tries to make code less error-prone and less verbose.
