Vala/Genie versus Python opinion piece
-----------------------------------
This is fairly impressive.

tightloop.gs compiled with valac tightloop.gs
crusty old guy raving ahead
It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'd opine that Pythonistas should be taking a serious look at Vala/Genie developments.  They are not at a 1.0 reference implementation yet, so there is still time to help out and perhaps influence the languages.  http://live.gnome.org/Genie

While it seems impressive, it's certainly not surprising given the whole compiled vs. interpreted thing.

Still I've been tempted to look into Vala, especially since its syntax is apparently heavily influenced by C#.  If either of these languages had the same backing as Python I'd be much more inclined to use them.
