Vala looks like a great solution. To move forward, however, I need a bit more info. I've looked on the Vala site, but haven't found this info. Unless I missed something obvious, you might want to put the answers to these questions in a place where newbies can find it. (Possibly the FAQ) Here goes:
1) Is there a binary download for Vala? If so, where is it?
2) What other libraries are needed to use the core Vala? And where are they available?
Vala requires GLib 2.12, available all over the place.
3) One thing that appears in the Ref manual but in a way that seems somewhat unclear is how to write a library in Vala. What are the syntactical elements that identify a given source file as being part of a given library.
I don't think there are any syntactical elements, besides maybe declaring things in namespaces. The Vala compiler supports outputting a VAPI file that represents a library (--library).
I am excited at the prospect of testing out Vala.
TIA for your help.
