To get this conversation back on topic, I'm experimenting with developing Gtk apps in Go (http://golang.org). Once I have that "mastered", it shouldn't be too hard to make Granite apps given that Granite compiles to C. And Go is probably only a little slower than Vala but a lot more user friendly (the barrier to entry is a LOT lower, simpler design, better tooling, bigger community, etc). If you're interested in experimenting with me, let me know.
