ghw-vala-cat

Inspiration

I was exploring languages that I have not yet visited. While exploring, i got too know about VALA which is used to make GUI Application, Command Line apps, and Library with GNOME technology. As someone who also uses GNOME, I thought to choose this language so that I can use this experience to contribute to the community.

What it does

This app is clone of the popular linux command cat which is used to concatenate files and print on the standard output.

How we built it

We built it using VALA, and Libgee to take input from standard input.

Challenges we ran into

I have never worked in the language. The main thing was how to take input from std input so that we can access stdin.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I solved the std input problem was one of the strongest accomplishment.

What we learned

The std input problem help me learn linux better in how to actually take data from stdin

What's next for ghw-vala-cat

Probably adding arguments, help menu, etc..

Built With
