Being a maintainer of 2 vala projects in GNOME, I can tell you that
valac itself is pretty stable these days and it gets more and more
stable all the time. The issue is the bindings usually. There are way
too many of the libraries to take care of and on top of that they
change all the time. Ideally each library should be providing vala
bindings and take care of keeping it up2date. So its really not a
fault of vala itself.
