Re: [Vala] Newbie need help

Your arguments are correct!

But not with mono!
You can use mono without recompile anything on other cpu's, including ARM/MIPS !!!
I have a project for SetTopBoxes witch runs on Arm32/Mips32 with the same dll's (AnyCPU) !!!!

That's right, it's not that small :-(

No, maybe I'm too stupid to do that
With Geany my project (4 files) compiles/build only one vala-file :-(

Indeed, it is.

Mind that Vala code is MUCH smaller and faster (and don't need any byte
of additional library code) and Vala is constantly evolving (regardless
of the nonsense E. B. babbled). Also, Vala is an official Gtk3 language
binding, Gtk# is not (see https://www.gtk.org/language-bindings.php).

We switched from Qt to Vala/Gtk/Glib (not the other way around!) several
years ago and it was the best decision we ever made. One of our apps has
approx. 300kLOC and was intended to run on PCs, but now also runs
unmodified (only recompiled for ARM) perfectly on a Raspberry Pi.

Please don't try this using Mono because your Raspi will detonate ;-)
