This could be a rather interesting poll. Might provide some data around the popularity of alternate JVM languages rather speculating.

Not so fast... Clojure also getting some votes.

Xtend and Ceylon faring extremely badly, Kotlin only slightly better. Looks like a 2 horse race with Scala and Clojure in front.

The JVM is already crowded.

Personally I think Xtend, Ceylon and for that matter Kotlin are "me too" languages, just trying to get some piece of the pie, and most likely won't go nowhere.
