Hey Jiri,
(Short question: with "ever", do you mean even contributing patches to
the Vala Project?)
Longer questions: many thanks for your input. Sorry but it's the first
time I see someone mentioning that C# is *designed* to work under GC. I
mean, of course I knew it was, but I didn't know that meant for sure
that it cannot ever work with a reference counting approach. Can you
tell me the exact bits of the C# grammar that would disallow this? I
mean, what's the fundamental difference between Vala language and C#
language (note I'm not talking about runtimes here) in respect to GC?
Let me guess for a sec: are the keywords "owned" and "unowned" related?
Thanks,
Andres
