Hey, so I understand that a vala file may not be compilable by a C# compiler, but how about the other way around? (So my question is "is vala a superset of C#"?) > other major difference is that Vala is not garbage collected. It uses > "assisted memory management" as opposed to garbage collection.

Let's say we have a piece of code that can be compiled by both Vala and C# compilers, but it leaks in Vala but not in Mono (because of the GC). Could that piece of code be 'tweaked' in order to make it not leak in the Vala case? If yes, we could develop a Gendarme rule that analyzes the assembly to search for possible leaks that may occur if the source code is compiled with the vala compiler, right?
