Hi,

this is the same question as for other applications:
Use C, if you want to optimize runtime, use Perl or PHP
if you need fast developement.

I've developed AGIs in C as well as in Perl. Both languages
are suited well, with its respective advantages and disadvantages.

Others report good experience with PHP, Python, and some are
even using Java.


The interface to asterisk is just stdin and stdout and a little
parsing. So don't worry too much whether your preferred programming
language is suitable for AGI programming!


Roger.
