Yes, there are only two of them. I might be too involved with that topic, but I think JVM languages are a huge topic these days. At Devoxx they had a whole track on this and there's a lot going on in the blogosphere and on twitter recently.
I'm pretty sure that most people are more interested in the language then how they built the editor, but in the end I'd be happy with any of the two talks.

That's a good one to bring up. I only found two on
Ceylon:
[1] http://www.eclipsecon.org/2012/sessions/ceylon-language-and-its-tools
[2] http://www.eclipsecon.org/2012/sessions/behind-scenes-ceylon-ide
Both talks are by the same authors, and I really didn't
want to see both. Personally either one of those is fine with me, but I
picked [2] and voted down [1] to avoid the duplication. My reasoning is
there are likely only a small number of people interested in Ceylon specifically
(every week there is a new language), but lots of people wanting to write
their own tooling who might like a "behind the scenes" look at
the tooling. But in the end it looks like the PC voted more in favour of
[1], so I am happy to switch. Again my goal was avoiding duplication rather
than a specific problem with the talk. We should probably just ask the
authors to withdraw one talk, and tweak the abstract of the other one to
suit the material they feel is important to cover. Ironically I suspect
they entered two talks to "increase their odds" but in the end
hurt their chances by doing so.
