What language are NoSQL databases typically written in?

I have an interest in creating a NoSQL database system for a school project and I am curious as to which languages are the different examples of NoSQL database systems are written in. If there is a majority leader, why is that language the favorite? And if there is more involved in the creation, such as different layers (of a stack), that information would be helpful as well.

Thank you.

CouchDB is written in Erlang. Erlang is really good for distributed systems.

It seems that also SimpleDB is written in Erlang.

Ayende's RavenDB is written in C# (but it's the only one that I heard of that's written in C#).

currently they are mostly written in Java, (Cassandra, Hadoop/HBase etc) but there is nothing that makes writing them in another language harder or impractical. I think the reason is that most of these come from open source background, which is mostly developed in java.
