Ceylon is a high-level, object-oriented programming language with strong static typing and a set of development tools developed by Red Hat . The language is based on Java , and programs written in Ceylon can be run on Java virtual machines or on the JavaScript engine [12] [13] .

The project faces the task of ridding developers of the problems of the Java language [14] [15] [16] :
- improved structured data and user interfaces
- the modularity of the language version,
- support functions of the first and higher orders,
- getting rid of awkward metaprogramming.
The name of the language is a reference to the Java language ( Java is known as a supplier of coffee, and Ceylon — now Sri Lanka — is a world-famous supplier of tea [17] ).

Language features
Ceylon inherits most of the Java syntax. Sample Hello, world! [18] :
shared void hello () {
print ( "Hello, World!" );
}
Operator Polymorphism
Ceylon will not provide operator overloading, since it is considered unnecessarily confusing, but instead supports operator polymorphism , in which the operator is a pointer to an embedded type method. It is assumed that this approach will be safer and easier than the true operator overload.
