Welcome to the world of functional programming =D. I personally (and professionally) suggest moving toward Scala when you feel that itch to dig deeper into FP.
Ceylon OTOH is at least good design, though I don't think that outweighs the library and tool ecosystem that Scala has.
The fact that there's so much discussion on the new SIP (Scala improvement process) and SLIP (Scala library improvement process) issues is a testament that Scala is alive and well. This is what happens in a mature language: many people put stakes in the ground.
Also, Scala most certainly has a bright future to go with its vibrant present. EPFL is hard at work with dotty, which will be a simplification and improvement of Scala.
