Re: [Vala] Just a news I've read about popularity langage



For a package manager, GNU Guix could be of use. Regarding a standard library, that's GLib.

(for example) nodejs have a lower
learning curve and a faster way to get work done because it have a great
package manager.

As fas as I never used Vala beyond multiple personal little experiments, I
feel that could be tools to make the life of starters better. For example,
there is a *great* project that helped me in every step, Autovala.

One question: is there a "standard" Vala library/classes?

I would really enjoy a source package manager to retreive bindings and
external Vala projects. So far, I'm happy with Meson and subprojects.


Why a custom package manager?

For the apps / libraries there is the distribution’s package manager.
Please do not make yet another package manager for those. This is a
solved problem.

What remains are VAPIs. Why is a custom package manager a better
approach than the vala-extra-vapis you are linking to? Your
distribution’s package manager should take care of dependency resolution
for the libraries the VAPIs are for. It also should take care of
downloading the library’s source code when requested.
