I love Ceylon - it is what Java should have evolved into (had it been managed better). Java replacement would have to introduce something an order of magnitude better than Java, just like Java did, with respect to C/C++ (for business-level applications). None of the existing solutions (Kotlin, Scala, etc) are at that level.
