NAME
valac - compiler that translates Vala source code into C source and
header files
SYNOPSIS
valac [OPTION...] FILE...
DESCRIPTION
Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern
programming language features to GNOME developers without imposing any
additional runtime requirements and without using a different ABI
compared to applications and libraries written in C.
valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala
source code.
