Assuming all are up to the task, here's my $.02: you want C/C++ since a lot of the drivers and support code are written in C. If you will be running Linux, you want Python since that has been baked into Linux for a long time, and seems to be the preferred quick language of Linux admins. And you can apparently easily wrap C in Python. There is a huge online resource of existing Linux tools written in both languages and I/O device drivers mostly written in C/C++. Both have good free dev tools (I use and recommend eclipse but there are many others).
Others have said the first thing is to define the task, then pick what seem to be the best tools for the job. I agree 100%, and will just add that "best tools for the job" can be partly subjective, and should include factors such as "what do I already know how to use" and "in what language are the tools I need to use written"?
