Rewriting every application in another language isn't the answer for
resource usage.  Not that Vala is bad, on the contrary it seems nice for
some use cases, but in terms of engineering effort it would be far
easier to rework various Python applications like deskbar,sealert etc.
to run in a single Python process.  

And more generally, to have one VM per language type, rather than per
app.
