Ceylon is a statically and strong-typed programming language, created by Red Hat. Version 1.0.0 was released late last year and 1.1 is coming soon.
Gavin King (creator of Hibernate and CDI) and Stéphane Épardaud will be touring the USA East coast JUGs in October. At each venue, they will explain what Ceylon is, and why you will want to use it for your next production applications. The talks will be aimed at people who have never heard of Ceylon, or who have heard about it but want to know more. At the end of the evening you will be up to date with all that Ceylon is and has to offer.
Their complete itinerary is explained at https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-52715.
Don’t miss this opportunity. Make sure to show up at JUGs in your neighborhood and ask all your questions to the language creators!
