First off, I think Vala is a good choice, but for a completely
different reason than what has been said here. Mono is quite fast,
and just because it has a runtime does not mean it can't be.
Remember that mono does JIT your code into native assembly at startup

I'm curious about how people feel about adding a feature for custom

It's a cute thought. But then you would try to debug a segfault or

I wrote a GtkTreeModel that fronted SQLite years ago. I think Conduit still
uses a python prototype I made which is far more optimized than the original
prototype in C (EggSqliteStore). It might serve as a base however to get

Hi Everyone,
We have some projects in Builder that developers of the Vala community
might be interested in working on. Currently, Builder supports writing
plugins in C, Vala, Python or C++. So you have a pretty wide variety of

Hi folks,
I noticed that there is support for delegates to throw when wrapping

seem to happen even though it compiles.
For example:

Wanted to suggest a feature that would be useful to simply the

For example,

You can build complex callback/errback chains just like in Python
Twisted. By default, the task scheduler will dispatch callbacks and
errbacks from the main thread to ease locking hell for GUI
programming.

ain. Not quite sure how to handle this
in vala bindings yet. I'm considering dropping error from the
prototype and adding it as tasks methods (task.{get/set}_error).

Won't work because of linking.
You could keep multiple .vapi inside your project for different versions and
include separate files in your makefile. Since i don't think there are
#ifdef in vala, you will need to have two files that consume the api as
well, and choose which to use in your makefile.

I'm excited about the addition of yielding values. I released GTask 0.1.2
last week which is an asynchronous/concurrency library for GObject with
similar feel to twisted deferreds. I would love to be able to yield tasks
and have the method re-enter when the task has completed.

I agree, having types loaded at startup would make life a lot easier in

plugin is loaded?
