Here's a preso: https://speakerdeck.com/evacchi/kotlin-and-ceylon-modern-programming-languages-for-a-modern-jvm https://speakerdeck.com/evacchi/kotlin-and-ceylon-modern-pro... I can't say I've used Ceylon much but I think Kotlin's syntax is much nicer and it's much easier to approach than Scala.

I'd imagine having Jetbrains behind Kotlin means much better tooling, which is likely to be more important for a lot of people than language features like ADTs.

to be fair, I presented that before Kotlin hit 1.0. A few things that I liked are no more (like the @-less syntax for annotations). But all in all I believe it is still a good commentary.
