Ah, another one of the anti-mono guys. Sigh... Let me tell you, that from the sole principle of how Vala works, it will never be possible to convert C# code in a mechanistic fashion. You could maybe try creating some sort of automatic converter, which wouldn't work anyway, as it would result in a

I see that some-one is re-writing tomboy in C++ as gnote - why they aren't using Vala is puzzling - probably they never heard of vala. Actually, the person in question is a fervent c++ proponent who has stated that vala is a gimmick. -- http://homes.eff.org/~barlow/EconomyOfIdeas.html
