Re: [Vala] valaDevelop

I'm afraid that I have to disagree with you: you didn't provide any kind 
of source code. Yes, you published the generated .c files, but those 
aren't the source code, I can't use that to fix a bug or add new 
features (well, I can try, but doing that would be nearly as hard as 
fixing a binary executable with a disassembler and an hexadecimal 
editor). So those "source files" are completely useless.

Also, I think that the problem IS that it wasn't open source, and your 
depart shows precisely why: the only person with access to the source 
code leaves the project and it dies, leaving all the current users with 
just a binary that can't be enhanced or fixed, and that sooner or later 
will stop working on modern systems. I lived this several times, and 
that's why I decided to not use valadevelop. Yes, I tested it and it was 
good, but I didn't want to be left again trapped with a dead project.

Of course, it is your code and you are the only one with the right to 
decide what to do with it; but if you make a decision, don't blame others.
