Same here, I just wished there was another name for it.

Now we have Evan with Vale, and Adobe’s Software Technology Lab wit Val, it will be great searching for related stuff.

There's also been a language called Vala, active since 2006!

Yeah, that one as well.

And there's the game company actively developing low-level open source software Valve, which my mind first sprung to.

Not to forget https://www.val.town, which call their lambda functions 'vals'

When I entered the article I thought it was talking about Vala

Yep, this was my bad. I thought Vala was dead because of a certain post (I think it was this one [0]), and because I rarely ever heard anyone mention it. I suspect I was wrong. I've been tossing around the idea of switching Vale's name to Valence to help avoid confusion.

Same, I don't have the background to understand the articles in most cases but it's interesting nonetheless.

Me too, the articles are great and I'm excited about the future of Vale.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy them =)
