Props to the language creator for showing us example code right away, at the top of the page.
Half the time a new language gets introduced here and I spend 15 minutes hunting for some page somewhere on the site that deigns to share what the code looks like.
- p4bl0 4y agoYes! I also like that a lot. I think Racket has one of the best programming language landing page regarding this criterion: https://racket-lang.org/ https://racket-lang.org/ :).
- summerisle 4y ago> Half the time a new language... Agree with the point, but Vala is pretty old (relatively speaking). It's been around for a while and the whole idea is to have a GTK/GObject-focused C-family language. Last I looked it was a C transpiler and may still be.
- breck 4y agoYup, created in 2006 (https://pldb.pub/languages/vala.html https://pldb.pub/languages/vala.html). This particular website looks new (whois shows domain registered in May 2022)
- pxc 4y agoAnd if you've ever used GNOME, you've probably used some Vala applications! I like to use Cheese, the nice little webcam app, to test a webcam when I first set it up or just take a selfie, even when I'm not on GNOME. That's a Vala application :)
