Yes, Vala is by far one of the most promising aspects of modern GNOME platform. Haven't bought so much into gnome-shell and "Python everywhere" yet that the Canonical guys seem to be advocating

@rambo Yes it is. For example private properties are, in fact, stored as new private structure, which require underlying alloc/free calls. It's not a big problem, but one must be aware of this anyway.
