Re: [Vala] Port Tomboy?

[Jamie McCracken <jamie mccrack googlemail com>]

not wishing to wade into the politics here but *useful* apps originally
written in a VM have tended to get rewritten at some point in a native
language due to not wanting the overhead of a VM. 

This is true of java apps (EG c++ lucene) just as much as its true of
mono (Gnote) or other VMs

I personally see rewriting into native code as an optimisation where
relevant
