Java interop is way better with Ceylon 1.1. For example, use-site variance for generics was introduced and overloading bugs have been resolved. Ceylon 1.2 will have constructors (to support DI frameworks) and I believe Java EE integration. The Ceylon guys have been very careful about adding new features, considering the pros and cons. Strict Java interoperability would have resulted in a much less elegant language (ex public/protected/private instead of shared and allowing an escape hatch for null, as Swift and Kotlin have done).
