[08:44] <MrAureliusR> I know budgie is written in vala, but I'm having a hard time finding ebooks about Vala... any suggestions?
[09:46] <dreamcat4> MrAureliusR: you can run that same --replace command on either budgie-wm or budgie-panel. the reason for doing it on budgie-wm is to make sure everything is fully killed and restarted. it might not matter which one either way. budgie-panel is a child process of budgie-wm
[09:48] <dreamcat4> MrAureliusR: vala is a psuedo-language that compiles down to C, it's apis are probably tightly integrated with other technologies used by gnome. such as GTK etc.
[09:49] <dreamcat4> so therefore other existing code of projects which use similar libraries / apis would be a good initial place to get your bearing from
[09:49] <dreamcat4> *bearing
[09:50] <dreamcat4> for example there might be some very complete and well written 'small projects' or standalone utilities written in vala. which are more self-contained and use a limited subset of these apis / dont have such a sprawling source code / keep referring to stuff outside of the scope that you are looking at
[22:24] <MrAureliusR> ugh it just froze again. so it wasn't the forecast applet
[22:25] <MrAureliusR> ah crap I just ran that replace and reset command, and it wiped all my customizations... sigh. I meant to edit it first
[22:25] <MrAureliusR> that took me like the better part of an hour to get it set up the way I wanted
