Ask HN: Is anyone using the Ceylon programming language?

This language seems to tick a bunch of boxes for languages that are often discussed on HN:

- Runs on the JVM (like Kotlin, Clojure)

- And has a more advanced type system than Java (like Scala)

- Backed by a large software company: Redhat (like Go, Rust)

- In active development (v1.3.1 released in November)

It has an IDE (plugin) too. But no-one ever seems to mention this language - not even in threads where non-mainstream languages are being discussed.

So, is anyone using Ceylon? Or have you tried it out? What has been your experience?
