Hopefully I don't start any more as I have plenty of projects on the go that are already way too much. Maybe I should take on something more manageable but that's no fun 😅 the latest thing I've started and know I'll never finish is a client for Revolt
I'm currently playing with autovala. The underwhelming state of support tools is probably the biggest thing holding me back from playing with Vala in serious projects.
The version of pandoc on my 12.04 based laptop appears to be too old. I installed the latest version (apt-get install cabal-install happy alex), added $HOME/.cabal/bin to $PATH, re-ran cmake, and was able to install.
Also, I really don't understand why AutoVala splits the tool into a binary and a shared library. It doesn't seem like the sort of tool to want to offer an API. The C header file is also generated from Vala source - probably not useful to 3rd party developers.
