Dear guix,

There’s a vala mode for emacs. It is not very useful, but it registers a
major mode that is then used as a placeholder for the Emacs Language
Server Protocol client. In fact, it’s not possible to activate Vala
support for LSP on emacs without a vala mode, and this is the only
implementation I know.

This is the result of importing from MELPA. The project is not very well
maintained, so it fails to build on a recent emacs (see
https://github.com/rrthomas/vala-mode/issues/14). Since I don’t have a
solution to fix this issue, I went away and reverted the multiline
support. It builds and is useful enough for LSP to kick in, so I
consider it fixed.

What do you think? Do you have a better fix?

Best regards,

Vivien
