What does one do when Hibernate is “finished” and feature complete and one needs new challenges? Right. One creates a new JVM language called Ceylon.On November 12, 2013, Ceylon 1.0.0 was finally released and we congratulate the whole team at Red Hat for their achievements in what looks like a very promising new JVM language. While it will be a slight challenge for Ceylon to compete with Scala, there are lots of very interesting features that distinguish it.In fact, this language has so many interesting features, it’ll be hard to write up a blog post about the 10 most interesting ones. Which ones to choose? On Google Plus, I’ve had a short chat with Gavin King who also brought us Hibernate, Ross Tate who is also involved with JetBrains’ Kotlin, and Lukas Rytz who was a PhD student and committer for EPFL’s Scala and now works at Google Dart. I wanted those language Uberdesigners to help me find the 10 most thrilling language features that they have and we Java developers
