Clojure has a lot to recommend itself but you'd want to avoid JVM based languages for resource contraint reasons.

Haskell  has a lot going for it but you'd want to avoid compiled languages for portability reasons when dealing with heterogenous p2p systems.

Agda, Idris, Coq et all have a lot going for them too but they're too complex for common use.

That doesn't leave many choices.

Yes, this is what I'm seeing as well. There's no good language really built for this yet
