1. Better support for other C compilers, like MSVC on Windows and Clang. When building library on Windows it doesn't define __declspec(dllexport) in generated headers which means you cannot use Vala with MSVC properly if you want to make an DLL instead of EXE. 2. Vala-DBG which can do something like debugging of CoffeeScript in Chrome is working. I mean something like JavaScript Source Maps but for C - http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/developertools/sourcemaps/ 3. Package Manager, Vala already has a nice place with lot of nice VAPIs (https://github.com/nemequ/vala-extra-vapis), but better approach to have own package manager with auto-resolving of dependencies (like NPM in Node or Cargo in Rust). 4. Better integration and maintaining of Vala among most popular IDEs, including MSVC, NetBeans, Eclipse. 5. Transparent usage of C++ libraries via some modified VAPI syntax. There are a lot of useful C++ libraries that people still need/want to use in their project. If you want to keep that library usage exportable for other C files in your project, you always can do *extern "C"* block to avoid mangling. 6. Make some killer-application. Or more precise - library/framework. As for Ruby that was Ruby On Rails, so Vala may have something own even in other direction then Web.
