i guess this is the way we should evolve this discussion: pointing out
differences and feasability of the approached proposed, assuming that
those proposing and discussing are willing to participate to a new
developer group to be formed.

Vala's code generation is a good point, yet we need to evaluate
dependencies in the generated code, as something bad mentions:

> AFAIK Vala software is glib2 dependent which is not good.

yep. again call me conservative :) but i think glib2 is not even good
on i386 machines ... :) definitely not appropriate for low resources,
unless we have the possibility to have a stripped glib2 to satisfy
Vala code....

indeed

well let's hear more opinions and insights. so far i can see several
drawbacks for Vala being stated.

let me also add that we already have a netsukuku C implementation
which used to work on older versions of the RFC, to start from.

and of course, the vast majority of programmers use C, while the vast
majority of devices can be targeted by C code, as Asbesto says.
