Re: [Vala] Need some feedback for Valum, a web micro-framework!

[Guillaume Poirier-Morency <guillaumepoiriermorency gmail com>]

I get an error from waf saying something about a missing feature. You
can test it by building the code from the genie-example branch.

I will try to run an isolated sample just to make sure.

By the way, I am working toward a beta release as I feel that we now
have all the necessary feature to make something usable. Posting on
this mailing list gave me really constructive feedback and I am glad I
did that.

Thanks again!
