valac is the compiler. The command, vala, combines compiling with valac and then running the output.It allows 
a simple script like:
#!/usr/bin/vala
void main () {
    print ("compiled and run in one command!\n");
}

Although you may reach its limits quickly if you try anything too complex, e.g. 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vala/issues/618The use of the --run-args switch may help - 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vala/commit/0e45b19dfabce1b2f04733d7ec6eb02d6692b549

All the best,
