as-salaamu alaykum, Jazak'allah khyr for this information about Genie. I'd seen Vala before, but wasn't very interested, as I have no intention of learning C#, but the idea of a language that can be converted into C was a good one. But finding out there's a version of it that's pythonic was great news!
Too bad the documentation is so sparse, perhaps in future when it gets better and some of us have a chance to learn it, we can use this language for Sabily projects.
