You mean something like perl, python, ruby or similar?
Any of those is suitable, and there aren't any major differences,
as far as I know.  Also, C# with .net/mono could be a reasonable
alternative, keeping you in the C-like languages.

Also, you coult look at gtk, which I think is ported to windows and osx as
well, and which is C-based.
