Yeah, I know some people has the feeling that Vala is a toy language, however, is the language with the best gobject introspection support and I think it has a lot to add to the GNOME learning/community building story, given that it is easy to approach and at the same time it produces libraries that everyone can reuse (btw, Vala native libraries can output perfect GIR files so you get introspection out of the box with it). I think we should give less priority to C when it comes to documentation in the site, C is fine for the guys working whithin the platform, but is not the best choice for application developers. Vala, Python, Mono and C# are probably the best targets in this regard and we should promote them to have even more relevance than C where possible (with ease of access to the people looking for the C docs anyway). > Cheers, > Emilio > _______________________________________________ > desktop-devel-list mailing list > desktop-devel-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list > -- Un saludo, Alberto Ruiz _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
