I really like Vala, and I also really like Rust, so don't hate me for
this post. :)
I think the main problem is that Vala is a very small ecosystem (few
core developers, few users), ha a "proprietary" syntax, even if it's
similar to C# and is strongly oriented towards Gtk software (as it's
based on GLib)
Rust, on the other hand, is a general language, that can be used for
many things: CLI apps, OS kernels, C-compatible libraries, GUI apps,
servers, web apps, etc. etc.
Bacause of this, the ecosystem is many times bigger, so it's easier to
find skilled devs, but also crates (linkable libraries), bindings for
current libraries, etc.
So, on the long run, I am afraid/glad it's gonna replace Vala completely.
Bye.
