@glitchypixel I'm very interested to see where you go with this. I got really excited about VALA about ~15 years ago, and the unportability of glib to even things like wasm was one of the reasons I eventually fell off of it. I'd been hoping someone might come along and produce a middle ground between gobject and glib. It seems like that never shaked out, but patching over the deficits with a few choice libraries might actually work out really well.

@50Percent_Cooler LibreWolf Is a bit too opinionated for my taste

@evan I yelled at my company for this once upon a time: https://exple.tive.org/blarg/2019/04/17/why-dont-you-just/

@glitchypixel SDL has stuff for IO. I've never used it, so I can't vouch for it, but here's the docs https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/CategoryIOStream
for math, I think your best bet would be to write vala bindings for the libc stuff you need.
containers is probably the trickiest one. there's probably a good C library I don't know about. otherwise you could probably lift implementations from https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL and wrap them for VALA

@oblomov I'd highly recommend Librewolf for desktop, and Ironfox on Andriod

@evan The second thing I don't like about the reply is "just". It reduces every thing to one thing - "just" that. The world tends to look cartoonish when people use that word. If you want to force your opinion on someone, "just" makes sense. If your goal is to learn and get more wise, "just" gets in the way.

@evan I dislike this genre of questions too. I think the right category for it is a leading question. Which means that it is actually not a question, but an opinion packaged as if it was a question. Typically, people who pose questions like that are not really interested in the answer. So people like me, who live by the value that people who ask me something, all things being equal, I owe them an answer - we end up wasting a lot of time.
