Project Ceylon

What do you think of Red Hats take on Java/C#?

Looks to me like it's just a better Vala, since Vala is infested with the GTK+ GObject shit all over. Although Vala is compiled to C and Ceylon will run on the JVM (GC is shit guy need not apply).

Will this be the Java killer?

Where'd you get all that about Microsoft? The only mentions I've picked out in this thread seem to be made by you, or someone equally spastic.

Anyway, Mono runs pretty much everywhere and appears to be less stack-hungry than .Net too. Either way, both CLR implementations are fairly efficient and have some good languages, acceptable GC performance (latency vs. throughput), decent interop and support TCO.
