[Vala](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Vala) is a C# | Java like langauge that compiles down to `C+glibc`. Used heavily for developing gnome desktop applications. Before I discovered D (and to certain extent nim), I had hoped that Vala would be a nice compiled langauge to use. However, the community of Vala appears to not care beyond desktop applications.
