I have been doing some bindings for Vala and noticed something inconsistent in the naming of enums.

enum Foo {

The thing is that you can name an enum like Foo.1FOO, but not Bar.33,
if the reason to support enums prefixed with a number is because the C
translation doesnt breaks anything.. why do using numeric values
breaks?

Is this defined by the Vala language or it’s just a bug?

Refusing to accept 33 is not a bug.  Accepting 1FOO might be.

You can use

        public enum Bar {
          @33
        }
