# The lang/vala port

## vala-0.16.1 – compiler for the GObject type system

## Description

    Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern programming
    language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional
    runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to
    applications and libraries written in C.

    valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
    Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
    type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source
    code. It's also planned to generate GIDL files when gobject-
    introspection is ready.
