Yes, another poll. People love to read into these numbers I guess. I  
suppose you can guess which one I’m excited to run on the JVM, but vote  
for whatever you like. Maybe you’re a big Groovy fan. Maybe you’d love  
to see Jython get up and going.

Somewhat disappointing that other options aren’t there like Beanshell  
and Nice. Oh well, pollsters will be pollsters.

Wouldn’t BeanShell be a Java-like language?
