You might note that Scala and Clojure both require a JVM (see the referenced news article). And in fact if you want a cross-platform static typesafe language that is not C/C++ then your choices are quite limited.

Basically, it's Java or GTFO. At most you can make do with Mono. There are no other viable choices.
