Vala 0.5.3 (Default branch)
Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern programming language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional runtime requirements, and without using a different ABI compared to applications and libraries written in C. License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Changes:
D-Bus server support has been rewritten to directly use libdbus. Avoiding dbus-glib marshalling helps Vala to support complex D-Bus types more easily. All Vala structs will now be registered with GBoxed. Many critical warnings and crashes on invalid code have been fixed and replaced by better understandable error messages. Private class fields and class destructors are now supported. The vala-gen-project has been dropped from the package, and is now part of Vala Toys for gEdit. Many bugs have been fixed. Image

NAME

       gvrng - An interactive, introductory programming language.

SYNTAX

       gvrng [world file | program file]

DESCRIPTION

       Guido van Robot is a project developed by advanced high school students for use by their peers as a learning tool and precursor to the fur-
       ther study of programming with Python. It is a minimalistic programming language providing just enough syntax to help  students	learn  the
       concepts  of  sequencing, conditional branching, looping and procedural abstraction. It's biggest strength is that it permits this learning
       in an environment that combines the thrill of problem-solving with instant visual feedback. In short, it is  an	interactive,  introductory
       programming  language that is excellent for learning the basic concepts of programming, applicable in any high-level language. Best of all,
       it's a whole lot of fun, too!

       At this point, you are probably asking yourself, "What is GvRng, specifically?" The gist of it is that it is a robot represented by a  tri-
       angle  on  the screen that moves around in a world made up of streets and avenues, walls and "beepers", which Guido can collect or set. His
       actions are completely guided by a program written by the user.
