MIX - Novell's de Icaza criticizes Microsoft patent deal (LinuxWorld)MIX - Novell's de Icaza criticizes Microsoft patent deal (LinuxWorld)Posted Mar 9, 2008 1:44 UTC (Sun) by pjdc (guest, #6906)In reply to: MIX - Novell's de Icaza criticizes Microsoft patent deal (LinuxWorld) by epa Parent article: MIX - Novell's de Icaza criticizes Microsoft patent deal (LinuxWorld) It seemed to me at the time that they were thinking something like "People are really excited about C# and how quickly they can put simple programs together with it. Can we provide something similar and avoid this extra potentially problematic runtime dependency?" Of course I may have missed the part where they trumpeted their genius and proclaimed uniqueness.

On their behalf, I am offended. I talked to the Vala people on IRC several times and I believe I have read most or all of their website material. In none of this have I seen any case of them saying how great they are. Quite the opposite in fact (e.g. the FAQ makes it clear how they do not think they are better than similar languages/tools). Vala was founded by two normal guys as a personal project (no commercial backing or anything like that). They have my respect for their project's achievements so far, and I have never seen them be anything but humble about it.
