[Vala] Date and time manipulation

["Heikki Paajanen" <hepaajan iki fi>]

Hi,

date and time handling part of glib seems not to be available in Vala. Also
the API available in glib seems to be very "incomplete", comparing with, for
example, python. Are you planning to write own vala API for that stuff
instead
of just offering what is available in glib?
(I could try writing some example? Any advice?)

I'm testing Vala by trying to port a small application written with
python/gtk.

Regards,
