Yannick have started a vala-editor widget at: https://github.com/inizan-yannick/vala-editor
But what we need at the end is: An Object able to parse Vala documents and propose completion. MonoDevelop, for C# can provide you options just related with the object you are trying to access methods/properties. A server providing parallel parsing and completion, could be an option, but may not a server but a stable library, from Valencia for example, designed in a way it can provide completion and error highlight to GEdit and Builder. Actual Builder implementation is difficult to track, because is really complex, see at Bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764752 2016-04-21 14:55 GMT-05:00 Ben Iofel <iofel...@gmail.com>: > libvala is probably the only way to do this > I have generated valadoc for libvala on my website > https://iofel.me/libvala/libvala/index.htm > > On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 3:53 PM Thiago Jedi <thiag...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hey guys. > > > > First of all, Vala is awesome.
