Re: [Vala] Removal of Mono

[Raphael Bosshard <raphael bosshard gmail com>]

I'd rather like a possibility to automatically convert (or semi-convert, with manual fixes) C# code to Vala. There are some C#/Mono libraries out there (like Banshees ListView implementation) which provide a real benefit. Right now these libraries are only available to Mono applications. In some cases it would make sense to have a 'low level' implementation. It would be nice if they were available for the whole Gnome eco-system.

Just a thought.

Stupid and wasted, yes.  Absolutely.  But the only way to get a complete
comparison that might change the "gimmicky" view of Vala would be to do
a straight port of some Mono application.  At least if the developer is
trying to compare (however foolishly) the two development systems.
