Re: [Vala] Use rust [was: Seeking for Vala programmer]

I don't say Rust is wrong. I don't even say it's worse than Vala or less
promising. There are just much more popular languages than Rust that fail
to maintain stable bindings to C libraries, including one I am interested
of the most (GStreamer).

As long as this https://crates.io/search?q=gst returns nothing and this
https://crates.io/search?q=glib returns bunch of immature projects, it's
just not an option. I am not going to spend half of my budget & time for
rewriting something that works perfectly in Vala just becuse some language
appears to be promising.
