Hey Niels,<br><br>Sorry I do assume that everybody is familiar with the Waf build system! And I shouldn&#39;t.<br><br>To configure, build and then run:<br><br>./waf configure<br>./waf<br>./run.sh<br><br>As for what Vala is capable of, it compiles to &quot;intermidiate&quot; C code (pure C, not C++),<br>
however its Object Oreintated, and natively supports most common stuff you need if you use<br>GTK and Gnome things... (its a Gnome project I think..) All C libraries are available if you write a<br>quick &quot;vala header&quot; so to speak, called a .vapi  file. Syntax is like C# / Java / C++<br>

This looks more like Python, but with some &quot;types&quot; throwin in around the place.<br>

post them somewhere if you want. :-)<br><br>
