I agree that GLib is not Vala-ish (e.g. non refcounted compact
classes), but I think it's relatively complete, what I miss is the
interactive interpreter : if Vala could have something like Mono's
csharp-repl, it would be very useful for e.g. quickly playing with the
apis, write little scripts (maybe in Genie if that's easier)
