It is quite easy to embed a python, perl or guile interpreter into your
application.  Each of these languages have gtk/gnome bindings, so you can
do GUI work from the scripting language.

There is some work on a visual basic clone for gnome apps, but it is
mainly for compatibility with windows apps rather than a general purpose
scripting language.
