C# syntax compiling to C for GNOME — GObject without the boilerplate; Elementary OS built its desktop in it.

Influenced by C#
Created by Jürg Billeter

GNOME's Vala (2006) — a C#-like language compiling to C/GObject — was designed to write GNOME apps in modern syntax with native performance.\n\nElementary OS adopted it; the GObject typing system is its reason to exist.
