[asterisk-users] Preferred language for Asterisk AGIs development ?

[Kenneth Shaw]

Drop Asterisk, move to Freeswitch. Much easier to interact with external
code bases, and it has more than one language interpreter built in
(javascript, lua, etc.).

If you're intent on staying on Asterisk, I would suggest skipping AGI,
and write a client that monitors the state of asterisk via the manager
interface. AGIs are messy in my opinion. There isn't really any "best"
language for AGIs, as AGIs just communicate with Asterisk via a pipe. So
really, the best language for AGIs are the language you like the best
and/or best fits the application domain/requirements for your project.
