Gnome Genie, programming language with close to python syntax. Genie is a dialect supported by the [[Vala]] compiler to ease application programming based on GOBject and GLib, usually for the GNOME desktop. Vala can be compared to C# syntax, Genie to Python.

Genie uses source code indent as part of control flow management.

Both dialects are supported by the ''valac'' compiler, which translates the code to C on way to native binaries.

The Genie language was designed by Jamie McCracken. First released in in 2008, Genie is maintained as part of the [[Vala]] project.
