an apps list is here

else you have :

• gir.core

  11 261 8.8 C#

  A C# binding generator for GObject based libraries providing a C# friendly API surface

  

Go is notoriously difficult to use in a scenario like this, especially when bindings to C# in the form of https://github.com/gircore/gir.core exist (overhead of calling which is very low by nature of interop being a first-class feature since .NET's inception).

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Vale

• gitg

  1 179 8.5 Vala

  Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gitg

  

> but haven't seen any apps built with it yet.

The gitg git gui is written in vala. I've used it for several years because it allows easy staging of individual lines, as well as reverting them.

• Highlight.js

  83 23,051 8.7 JavaScript

  JavaScript syntax highlighter with language auto-detection and zero dependencies.

  

> it was designed to resemble C#

I actually first heard of Vala just a few days ago when I was looking at a C#-related PR[1] for highlight.js:

> This fails the tests as the Vala default.txt is recognized now as C#. However, Vala is very close in syntax to C#, and the default.txt also seems to be valid C# so not sure what to do about this.

Or Val[0], now called Hylo (for a good reason), or V[1].

• valadoc-org

  11 83 7.1 Vala

  Build tools used to generate valadoc.org

  

My favorite thing about Vala personally is the wide range of native libraries you have access to because of its compatibility with GObjects.

There's a great documentation website that has everything located in one place also, which makes development a breeze: https://valadoc.org/

• valar

  1 18 - Ruby

  Ruby-Vala interface (by danlucraft)

Ahh takes me back!

In 2009 I wrote a lib to auto-generate Ruby bindings for Vala code. It gave a very pleasant API to create native extensions for Ruby, if you were happy using glib.

• website

  64 186 9.9 TypeScript

  Monorepo with website and API (by flathub-infra)

  

There are a lot of third-party Linux apps built with GTK4/Libadwaita. If you just to to https://flathub.org and click on random apps a lot of them will use GTK.

• appcenter-web

  16 43 6.4 HTML

  Web frontend for viewing AppCenter apps

  

There's also a lot of apps written in Vala for elementary OS's AppCenter with screenshots & links to GitHub: https://appcenter.elementary.io/ (not all, but most). I published two apps there and using Vala has been a great experience for creating Gtk/Linux desktop apps.
