Red Hat Uncloaks 'Java Killer': the Ceylon Project

Posted by timothy on from the as-sung-by-the-bad-brains dept.

talawahdotnet writes "Gavin King of Red Hat/Hibernate/Seam fame recently unveiled the top secret project that he has been working on over the past two years, a new language and SDK designed to replace Java in the enterprise. The project came out of hiding without much fanfare or publicity at QCon Beijing in a keynote titled 'The Ceylon Project — the next generation of Java language?'"

    Am I the only one who read, "Cylon"?

    Do they have a plan?

    The 'Cylon' project requires a meta-cognitive processor, not a VM.

    Although, I had a similar experience reading about the 'Dalvik' VM... Wha... the DALEK VM?

    Finally, it's Red Hat. They have no Plan. The One True God has no frakking patience for RHEL (and neither do I).

    LULZ I saw those shows too so we're all really cool and in the know. whew. my urge to dissolve my shitty personal identity by merging with some kind of group identity is satisfied, for now. let's all validate each other some more okay? this is totally different from what sports fans do. yeah.
