I agree with the article. Vala is a wonderful language, but it doesn't have the necessary tooling built around it.

Sure but they had like 10 years to do that, I remember a french guy who ever wrote a complete IDE with autocompletition + package manager for Vala on Windows. Support from the Gnome Foundation ? zip .

Oh, and I even found the link.

So the tooling my ass, they just don't want to bother with Vala

No, I'm talking about gdb support, for example. I'm talking for a testing framework (right now you have to write your own build process capable of bundling the unit tests with your source).

They still had 10 years to do that. complaining about the lack of tooling they didn't develop is idiotic, they are in charge of the language themselves.
