Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern programming
|
|
language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional
|
|
runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to
|
|
applications and libraries written in C.
|
|
|
|
valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
|
|
Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
|
|
type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source
|
|
code. It's also planned to generate GIDL files when gobject-
|
|
introspection is ready.
