About:
Vala Language Server is a backend implementation of the Language Server Protocol for the Vala and Genie programming languages. It provides rich code intelligence features like autocompletion, go-to-definition, and real-time error diagnostics within IDEs. This tool bridges the gap between modern editor features and the Vala compiler toolchain.
Key Features:
  • LSP (Language Server Protocol) compliance
  • Real-time code completion and diagnostics
  • Symbol navigation and refactoring support
  • Integration with the Vala type system and libraries
Use Cases:
  • Developing Vala applications in VS Code, Vim, or Emacs
  • Enabling IDE-like features for Genie source files
  • Automated code analysis for Vala projects
Alternatives:
  • Vala (CLI) – The standard compiler provides syntax checking but lacks interactive IDE features.
