This be true for AGI, but there is also FastAGI and with it the excellent
asterisk-java package:

http://asterisk-java.org/

It supports writing AGI Scripts in JAVA, which communicates over TCP with 
Asterisk. AMI is supported too ...

Last but not least it has a nice Abstraction Layer, the Live API, which gives 
you some good insight and control of what is going on, inside the asterisk server.

I think it is definitly worth a try ;)
