I don't understand why (compiler forces me to use different names i

I did some thinking on the subject of asynchronous (aka yielding)

Hi.
I want to show some animation to the user while my program is busy getting

I have an animated file which is - *.gif type and I want to use it.
Is there any library to handle animated gif files that I can use?

If the dependency concerns you, you can simply copy the class you use

Checking nulls is responsibility of the programmer. That is consistent with
every other language I know, including dynamic ones, C#, Java, etc.

The most reliable way to post patches is to open a bug in bugzilla and

So here is the proposal:
- Renaming Map.remove(K key) in Map.unset(K key)
I don't know about that.. it would be kinda unobvious. People coming
from C# and Java will be confused.
I'm not sure whether Vala supports it, but in C#, you could do
something

- Are there some things missing ?
I have another proposal.
Currently, number of elements in a collection is reflected in the
size property. In many cases, that's a nonsense. For example, in
HashMap, number of set keys can hardly be considered a size
