People are just excited. Articles I have seen so far don't sound like PR. People are just excited that they will have an alternative to Java.

This is the same kind of an excitement as the one when Apple announced that Swift will be a first class citizen of iOS development. I rarely get excited with programming languages, but this one went straight to my heart. Maybe I am biased because I like JetBrains as a company.
