- Overall results

First off, I'd like to thank everyone who voted on this poll.
With a total of 236 votes, here is the summary of the first two questions:

- Are you currently working with or researching about language alternatives for the JVM? - e.g. JRuby, Scala, Groovy

Tooling. The majority of comment urge for better tooling and IDE support. That simple.

- Others

People who chose others mentioned Clojure, Fan and Jython, with a clear advantage for Clojure.

- Disclaimer

This poll has no scientific foundations whatsoever and its sole purpose is to summarize the feelings and personal choices of the people who answered it. If you would like the original spreadsheet with the answers, you can find it here and do your own analyzis.
