>GNOME developers actually, unironically believed that Vala

I don't see what the problem is with creating a language that was made to deal with GTK+ programming much easier? Would you rather do it in C++ instead, because trust me, if you even tried you'd pull your hair out.

>>58937699
There is literally nothing wrong with an agreed-upon subset of C++. It's what Google uses to write the most technically advanced browser in the world, in addition to their search algorithms, TensorFlow, etc. It's what Lockheed Martin uses to write firmware for their military aircraft.

You also get an absolutely yuge talent pool of potential developers willing to contribute code because they aren't put off by the requirement of investing 24 hours of their own free time learning a fucking meme language (that isn't even designed well).

moving the goalposts I see, I'm talking about GTK specifically, it's C++ library is a fucking mess.

>>58936021
Vala did catch on, pantheon is entirely written in Vala and it's used in many GNOME programs.

It's a nice language too.

>implying C++ is not a meme language requiring constant learning and rehearsing just to stay semi-competent

if a long-time GNOME dev is tweeting this, it's dead, Jim

Rust already has a full gtk3 binding.

Where the FUCK is go? Seriously, it only has a half assed library and that's it. This is fucking annoying.

Red hat is filled with second-rate devs. To make it worse, they plan to conquer Linux through shits like systemd and gnome.

Grab you tinfoil and get the fuck out immediately

>>58938454
Red Hat is saving Linux and give back to the community. Canonical is shit and Mir is all that needs to be said about them.

Mir is lulzy. It's good for mobile.

Vala is an awesome idea that has died solely because they just wouldnt fucking provide good IDE support, good documentation, good ANYTHING beyond the language.
Nobody has time to deal with this shit anymore, there are new languages out every day.
