The only thing that Ceylon seems to have going for it is somewhat closer affinity to Java syntax than Scala. Still Scala's got real momentum and has been shaped by lots of real world usage. Do I wish it was more C/Java-like in syntax? Absolutely -- I think it'd be taking over in force if it

Ceylon solves the null problem, nullable variables are Optional, which can be abbreviated to T?. However, it's a JVM language, and there are a reasonable number of ways to get a null out of Java libs. I expect to see some NullPointerExceptions in Ceylon's bugtracker, when it has one. -- Skype: r
