Thanks. I really thought it was about vale since I assume they are both pronounced the same way.
I pronounce them as:
Vale would rhyme with “bail”
But Val would be like the first syllable of “value”
It is still very young and I don’t yet see any advantages over Rust, except that they want to have out of the box interoperability with C++. Let’s see where they are in 3 years or so.
All I see is another wannabe generic purpose and C++ (and Rust? Already?) replacement. I’m not saying they shouldn’t try, but a lot have already and it’s pretty tough. C alternatives like Zig and Nim don’t seem to have taken off, Vala either.
These small proof of concept projects just go to show how fundamentally important are projects such as GCC and LLVM, which considerably lowered the barrier to entry of monumental tasks such as developing a programming language that targets basically all platforms under the sun.
Kudos GCC and LLVM.
