The thing frightening me about Ceylon and Kotlin is that they both seem to have that the "language design is hard, let's go shopping" approach which burdens developers with stuff only the language designer should care about. I will certainly have a look at the approach they take towards type constructor polymorphism.


I'm not sure type constructor polymorphism is what makes a bank, or a web startup for that matter, adopt or reject a language.


No. What I tried to say is that whether they make it work or not just tells a lot if they are willing to go the "extra mile" for their developers.
