As I understand, Vala doesn't seem to have any downsides that are strong enough that would make C a better choice.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Vala kind of provide the best parts of C (it can be compiled to C, which in turn can be compiled to optimized machine code) and the best parts of Python (expressive language, lets you focus on your problem domain rather than on the language itself) In other words, I think Vala looks like a very good choice, or at least better than C. If Vala has some serious drawbacks, making C or other language a better choice, please point them out.
