I've looked into this a little. I was able to download a chart of the

any
way to tell anything about the actual votes from a particular IP, which I
suppose is good for privacy, but it prevents me from looking at an IP
with
multiple votes and determining if all of the votes were suspiciously
strongly favoring the one option.
There are 105 IPs. The vast majority of the IPs only had one vote. There
were five IPs that had two votes each, and one IP that had three votes.
I'm
willing to assume those are just multiple people from the same ISP, and
even
if not they're not particularly significant compared to the rest. But
then
there was one IP with 72 votes. So, yea, that does seem suspicious. In
case
anyone thinks they might have more insight, the IP in question is
115.131.192.250, and appears to be from Austrailia.
Looking at the statistics, if we assume all those 72 votes are for
'None - Not likely to use D anytime soon', we get these nice numbers:
D2 43 %
Both D1 and D2 fairly equally 3 %
D1 - Not likely to use D2 anytime soon 28 %
D1 - Likely to switch to D2 soon 6 %
D1 - Likely to do both D1 and D2 soon 5 %
None - Not likely to use D anytime soon 9 %
None - Likely to use D2 soon 6 %
None - Likely to use D1 soon 0 %
None - Likely to use both D1 and D2 soon 0 %
Honestly, I find this to seem more likely as a serious result.
That said, I do not expect 43% of programmers to be using D at the
moment. :P
