3. gir.core

   2 16 401 8.6 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).

4. Vale

   Compiler for the Vale programming language - http://vale.dev/ (by ValeLang)

   

   Not to be confused with Vale[0].

   > 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.

6. Highlight.js

   5 89 24,571 7.9 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.

10. valadoc-org

    8 11 85 6.1 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/

12. valar

    10 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.

13. website

    11 65 291 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.

14. appcenter-web

    12 16 45 7.4 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.
