Alternate JVM languages for FRC

Given the popularity of the JVM, quite a few other languages have been created that compile to Java bytecode, such as Scala, Groovy, Clojure, JRuby/Jython, etc. From what I understand, the Squawk JVM we use for FRC is based on Java ME and CLDC, preventing many of these alternate languages from working out of the box. Has anyone else thought about or tried to use an alternate JVM language for FRC? I'm curious as to the possibilities, particularly with languages that have better support for functional programming.
