Having a scripting language is exactly what could get me started on
development. I'd suggest tacking on Python, since it's already being
used in this capacity in several other projects, the most relevant
probably being the GIMP.

To tell you the truth, the prospect of having to code stuff in C is
daunting enough that I simply wouldn't get started. It's certainly not
that it's more difficult as a programming language, but it DOES require
5-10 times as many lines of code to get the same functionality as it
would in Python or a similar language, and that's not just 5-10 times as
much time spent typing but thinking and debugging as well. What's really
needed to get more people to contribute is a fast return on investment,
and towards that goal I think a scripting language would work wonders.
