Actually Vala is not limited to GNOME. GLib, GIO, Gee ... are platform
independent libraries. And GTK+ is not equivalent to GNOME either, think of
Xfce, LXDE or cross-platform apps like GTK+'s origin GIMP. Vala is not even
bound to GLib/GObject, think of the experimental POSIX and Dova profiles,
and people are using non-GObject APIs with Vala (SDL, OpenGL, Lua ...).

I personally associate with Vala a (celestial) being of light or some angelic
being (cf. Tolkien, Norse mythology, Asteroid). Something that brings light
into darkness.
