Explicitly mention that Vala can be used to create cross-platform programs #152
Comments
Where can we mention this? |
Somewhere on the home page. |
I think it should maybe give a list of non-GNOME, non-ElementaryOS applications that use Vala. And sadly, this list is a bit short, the only one I can come up is frida (https://frida.re): https://github.com/frida/frida-core |
That's a great idea. What exactly do you mean by "non-GNOME' though? |
I mean e.g. general purpose applications, that not only are written for GTK/GNOME/ElementaryOS. One thing I often hear about Vala is, that you can only write programs for those things in Vala, basically its only purpose being a language for GTK+friends. If we are able to list e.g. some non-GNOME/eOS, maybe even non-Linux applications that use e.g. not GTK or not even a GUI, it would show that Vala is really a general purpose language. But sadly I can't think of any big, releveant programs written in Vala that are not from the GTK-ecosystem |
It should also link to these installation docs with with platform specific instructions.
