'''Vala''' is a programming language created with the goal of bringing modern language features to C, with no added runtime requirements and with little overhead, by targeting the GObject object system. It is being developed by Jürg Billeter and Raffaele Sandrini. The syntax borrows heavily from C#. Rather than being compiled directly to assembler or other intermediate representation, Vala is compiled to C source, which is then compiled with a platform's standard C compiler.
The '''valac''' compiler also supports a language dialect called Genie, that more closely resembles Python syntax. '''Genie''' syntax requires indentation based code structure blocking. The '''Genie''' dialect is also compiled to C on way to native executable by '''valac'''.
