Vala is a language similar to C# that compiles down to pure C/GLib. 
It's quite popular in the GTK+/Glib community and it's substantially 
easier to learn if you don't know C and pretty awesome even if you do 
know C.  You can see an example of a Geany plugin using Vala in my 
Geany-MultiTerm repository[1].  The .vala files are code I wrote, and 
the .c/.h files are the compiled C files that you can compile with gcc 
or whatever you use.
