Yes, I was thinking something on the JVM, I have a big interest in Clojure right now (am a long time Java dev, since 1996).

I do not know if I want to tackle writing bitcoin in Clojure, but I want to create a tool kit first to learn more about how it works.

May I ask you which language? I'd love to implement Bitcoin in Clojure or Scheme.
