Vala is a new programming language that allows modern programming techniques to be used to write applications that run on the GNOME runtime libraries, particularly GLib and GObject. This platform has long provided a very complete programming environment, with such features as a dynamic type system and assisted memory management.

Not sure I'd call Vala new. It's almost 20 years old...

Yeah, totally agree. I felt a little weird pasting that, but that's what the introduction paragraph says. 🤷‍♂️
