I'm undecided: on the one hand I would love if we could use Vala for new 
Gobject-related and OOP code, but on the other hand Geany is full of 
non-gobject code and Vala is still young, not widespread and 
un-standardized.

I'm not against going the Vala route but I guess my uncertainty counts 
as a no.

Perhaps we should first make it easier to write plugins in Vala (heck, 
merge some bindings already) and see how it plays out.

Best regards.
