description:
  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.

  The syntax of Vala is similar to C#, modified to better fit the GObject
  type system.
