In 2009 or 2010 I was working on a small desktop project using #gtk .

Frustrated with doing GUIs in #C, but wanting to avoid #pygtk, a colleague recommended me to try #vala.

After almost 13 years decided to check if #vala is still a thing, and I was delighted to see that's actively maintained. Cool!
