Vala is an object-oriented programming language with a self-hosting compiler that generates C code and uses the GObject system.
Specs
Specs are quantitative aspects of the option such as the price
Pros
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Very few resources allocated to the language
Only a single person is working on Vala full time. Gnome Foundation isn't allocating sufficient resources to properly maintain Vala.
Con A very naïve approach to the real problem
Vala just adds more complexity to the game. No real benefits in using a 'programming language emulator' for UI code, you may think it adds to productivity but it's just a way to make the problem last longer, reinventing the wheel everytime and worse.
Con Not well documented
It already has tons of documentation, even a book about Vala.https://leanpub.com/vala https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/Documentation
Con No stable version
No stable version of Vala released for over a decade so far. Means that Vala isn't production ready.
