I know no Python, I started with javascript in webpages, worked with Node.js for a long time, and in the past 2 years I've started to work with Java, and I've started with C in the past 6 months.

I haven't seen one, but if you want I'd try to contribute to one on GitHub or somewhere. I like the idea, even though I know vanity addresses pose some security problems and they're not incorporated into HD backups, I still think it'd be really cool. Maybe here would be a good place to start?

Thanks for the link. What languages would you use as I'd personally prefer either C# or Python (python is quite slow so I'd have to convert it to C# afterwards as that seems quite a bit faster).

Currently reading the data from the link and want to see if I can build any interim stuff from it just as a simple address generator (or some sort of validator).

I don't know C#, but I know a little but of C. I'd be willing to try to learn though, I know Java and Node.js, and I've heard Java is very similar to C#

I think C#, C and Java are all quite close together yes and if you use a program like Visual Studio, the program fills in some of the gaps for you so it's quite nice to work with.

Do you not know any Python? Normally people start with that as its a fairly forgiving language to start on. I did an android version of JAVA a few years ago also so might be able to regress my knowledge a little.

I've been looking into trying to find a bech32 vanity address generator and was wondering if there is already one?

If not, I might try building a simple one based on my own needs (so would just be a minimal version and probably quite slow unless I can work out the source code of vanitygen and try to edit it to encorporate the bc1 part into it).

Unless there's a way to convert a legacy address into a bech one though I assumed the private keys would be of a different type?
