[PLUG] Speaking of programming

[jeff <jeffv@op.net>]

I've mentioned this before but lately I feel the need for pain.

I need a linux app to control my (radio) scanner(s). There are none.
I cannot program my way out of a paper bag; in fact the paper bag 
probably has more skills.  Is there a particular language that is 
suitable for this and maybe is friendly to people with almost no 
programming background? Something that isn't C?

I'm essentially receiving and sending codes over USB and ideally putting 
it into an interface that looks kinda like the physical scanner.

I know I'm asking the impossible but when I'm through being a 
programmer, I'm going to be a rocket scientist. Or a ballerina. 
Something open source.
