Well, somewhat. For non-vala classes, you can't call non-default
constructors. They always have a default one (even though none is declared)
and construct properties, that you set instead of passing parameters to the
base constructor. That should be the only difference, though.

The tutorial explains the "GObject-style construction" somewhat, but I am not
sure it mentions this constraint on deriving non-vala classes.
