If Vala would have the same number of people working on it, it would be a perfect language probably for the majority of use cases.

Faster compiler than rust, smaller binaries, easier syntax, good GUI as defacto library (GTK)

They are not nearly in the same niche, so the comparison doesn’t make sense.

By that logic Nim would be even better.

better stick to python, or lua or even javascript then, with the right bindings and engin.
