I don't know Ceylon, but because it targets JVM/JS VMs, it's not suitable as a systems programming language - which Rust is especially useful for.

- gavinking 12y agoThat's exactly right. Ceylon and Rust are both new languages, with, it seems to me, a fair amount of similarity in terms of overall philosophy, but they target quite distinct usecases. Ceylon -> VMs, Rust -> systems programming. And so quite fundamental differences between the languages arise out of that.
