Well, Kotlin has the ability to generate Javascript. This could 
turn into a killer feature as Javascript is growing in 
importance, e.g. Node.js, html5+Javascript and the importance of 
Javascript for Web GUIs as such. I hope they can make it as the 
language IMHO is really well designed.

Ceylon is not made for interoperability with Java such as Groovy, 
Kotlin, Scala. I don't think they stand a chance if the Java eco 
system cannot be easily re-used. I don't understand what the 
Ceylon guys are thinking.
