Perl, Perl and Perl. Since you already know Python, you won't have any problem picking it up. The vast majority of LMS and most of the plugins are written in Perl. It's powerful and easy to learn. As a retired C++ developer, the biggest problem I had was getting used to how much more straightforward it is to do most things in Perl, especially when it comes to working with variables. Welcome to the community and feel free to post any questions you have on the forums. I think you'll find, as I did, that it's a very cooperative and helpful community. And, by the way, if your home audio system includes one or more Denon or Marantz AVR's, be sure to check out the "DENON AVP/AVR Control" plugin, of which I have become a co-developer --- my first experience with Perl.
