Search the archives for libgeetk.. Someone had done exactly that. I
believe they were waiting for closure support in order to finish, but
it sounded like it wasn't much trouble otherwise

Hello there,
just to make think clear; I don't 'hate' Mono or despise its usage
in any
way. I just think that it would make sense to have some Mono-only
libraries
available for the whole Gnome-stack.
Sure, I agree with that.
It is fine to port CLR libraries to make them usable in any language
(in case there is really a CLR library that has no equally usable C
replacement). It's porting an end-user app just make a showcase of
it,
that I'm not happy about.
What is the current state of interaction between Vala and Mono? I
mean,
would it be possible to take a useful Mono library, rewrite it in
Vala,
and make the Mono programs pretty much transparently use the rewrite
instead of the original library?
If that is the case, I'd call such a rewrite a gain for the GNOME
platform
as a whole, since it would make a previously Mono-only library
available to
all the languages in the platform.
Porting a whole application just for the sake of it is hardly a
justifiable
effort; it may make sense to do so if there are other benefits, like
better
performance or smaller memory footprint, which I believe Vala could
give.
Everything else is just propaganda.

Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
