It is an interesting trend in general, but hard to
say which particular languages will actually gain traction. For example
last year I remember buzz about Clojure but this year I see no talks on
it. Anyway, I could say a lot more on this but I would really need a beer
in front of me ;)

Twitter is an echo chamber... everyone on twitter
hears that the things they care about are important!

Based on the average PC vote it looks like you are
right. I have switched mine in favor of the Ceylon language talk which
is now at 3.7. We could always ask the authors to combine the talks and
give a more balanced picture of the language and how its tools were built.
