Description
See https://github.com/sonnyp/Workbench/issues/17
In https://github.com/sonnyp/Workbench/pull/38 - we added Vala support
It was done quickly and with the least possible changes to prove the case. However, adding new languages shouldn't require fiddling in multiple JS files – let's refactor to make it simpler and scale.
