   1. Better support for other C compilers, like MSVC on Windows and Clang.
   When building library on Windows it doesn't define __declspec(dllexport) in
   generated headers which means you cannot use Vala with MSVC properly if you
   want to make an DLL instead of EXE.
   2. Vala-DBG which can do something like debugging of CoffeeScript in
   Chrome is working. I mean something like JavaScript Source Maps but for C -
   http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/developertools/sourcemaps/
   3. Package Manager, Vala already has a nice place with lot of nice VAPIs
   (https://github.com/nemequ/vala-extra-vapis), but better approach to
   have own package manager with auto-resolving of dependencies (like NPM in
   Node or Cargo in Rust).
   4. Better integration and maintaining of Vala among most popular IDEs,
   including MSVC, NetBeans, Eclipse.
   5. Transparent usage of C++ libraries via some modified VAPI syntax.
   There are a lot of useful C++ libraries that people still need/want to use
   in their project. If you want to keep that library usage exportable for
   other C files in your project, you always can do *extern "C"* block to
   avoid mangling.
   6. Make some killer-application. Or more precise - library/framework. As
   for Ruby that was Ruby On Rails, so Vala may have something own even in
   other direction then Web.
