Vala and Javascript IDE - for building Vala Desktop applications and Web Javascript

About roobuilder
It's a cross between Glade / Visual Studio - the idea is that most 'action' code for an application is actually quite
simple - so entering the code on the event handlers for an widget makes the proximity of code to action better.
This idea is applied to the Vala based Gtk applications, along with the Javascript based Roo web applications that this
application is used to build and develop.
