Here is the link :

Could it be possible to have something similar for Vala ?

Hello à tous,

I admit I do not know webassembly. I prefer to develop "stand alone"
applications but what you say about it seems very interesting.

I also saw an application capable of running a delphi application on the
web! It was amazing .. I will try to find the link.

Someone has knowledges about glib and webassembly ?

Do we really still need a Vala to JS converter? I didn't try, but I think it's 
possible to compile the whole GLib to WebAssembly with only slight 
modifications, so Vala can run in browser natively after being built for wasm32 
target.

Did anyone investigate it?

Exactly, I thought Vala has good and strong asynchronous "mechanics" which
made Vala a good choice for webapps.

So we should keep an eye on frameworks which could be the key to success
for Vala (or at least better recognition).

Vala has first rate asynchronous code through the use of GLib's GMainContext
event loop and the async keyword. The next Vala release, 0.36 at the end of 

March, will see Vala async code using GLib's GTask instead of GSimpleAsync.
This is a significant contribution to Vala development. So anyone saying
Vala is dead is not paying close enough attention.

As for web application frameworks take a look at these two:

Hello,

Here I am reassured. I'm glad to hear that Vala is still alive.
Frankly, I loved it developed in Delphi and now I find again the pleasure
of coding with Vala.

Between Glade and Vala, Windows/Linux/Other portability, it's a pleasure
to use Vala.

By the way, I think I understand Vala could be used to develop stand alone
application (server or client side) but not for "web applications" which
used asynchronous oriented developpement.

Any opinion ? :)

Thanks
