Given the nature of recent, and past, bugs discovered in the OpenSSL implementation, it makes more sense to implement in a memory-safe language, such as python, java or squeak. Using a VM hosted language will limit the pool of possible users, but might create a more loyal user base. I know the squeak community <http://www.squeak.org/> does not have SSL and would very much like to have it. An implementation of SSL in squeak would also be of interest to the Squeak-E project, related to the E project <http://www.erights.org/>.
