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 was. Even so, I don't see
why a half-baked, unfinished project that's been languishing for 2 years
should jump ahead of Scala.

Another thing that puzzles me about Ceylon is the timing: Gavin says that he
and his team have been working on it for two years and yet they don't even
have a prototype to show. Reaching such a stage should take a few months to
one programmer.
Especially when all you *really* need to do is rename scala to
Ceylon... or, heck, just use COBOL. I guess my main confusion around
Ceylon is who needs it.
