I don't think Ceylon is really in the same category as OCaml. OCaml is closer to F# and Haskell. Ceylon is probably closer to Kotlin.

I agree with the rest of your comment, but I think this Ceylon is probably closer to Kotlin. is unfair on Ceylon

Kotlin basically has the Java type system with a few extensions, but no substational changes.

Ceylon has its own type system that draws heavily from the FP/ADT style of thinking. It's not OCaml (nor does it want to be), but it's also not Kotlin.

Where does it fall relative to Scala?
