A comment on Constructors in Ceylon. Parent comment

  the things we can do with union and intersection types, 
  disjointness, abstraction over tuple and function types, 
  etc, are just beautifully elegant and powerful. Don't let 
  the fact that you love Scala blind you to other ideas.
I don't think it's a blind love, but all those things will ship in one of the next versions of Scala, too.

Given there are some things I can't just suffer anymore, like unreadable Generics (<>), required ; and "Type ident" syntax, maybe Ceylon just isn't for me. :-)

Well it's really lovely and encouraging to see Ceylon exercising such a strong influence on Scala. Makes me very proud.
