I works with an upstream project using Vala.

It's pretty nice to use, but there is several little problems :
- Build system support : some mouth ago, autotools didn't support Vala.
The only system supporting it was waf, which have also several problem
of stability. I don't know the exact situation now.
- Usual breakages for every release : most release of Vala cause build
failure on existing code. No big failures, but you need to check it.
- Not always optimized C code : sometimes, the generated C code is not
perfect.

Other that, people using it are quite happy, it's a very good
replacement for C code using GObject.

Julien Lavergne
