Vala seems to be a quite interesting concept: C# without the overhead of an additional runtime, runtime libraries and bindings (which make Java or Mono so inappropriate for coding lean desktop stuff). You can use the software components which already exist as C libraries directly. Reminds me a bit of VB <= 6.0, which has been a very successful (but from OO-design horrible) technology. Norbert
