IF you wanted to maximise the SDR1000 group participation in programming I'd say that the design architecture is paramount and would lead onto choosing the programming language(s) to suit the structure best.
As a family man with limited time for hobbies I'd like to be able to develop a small chunk of code - most conveniently (say) written as a DLL - plonk it into one of several directories known to the new Flexradio software - run the radio and notice that my new feature appeared on the drop-down options already present on the radio. That new feature could be written in any language most suited to the task. e.g. Managing text in a smart data decoder versus say weak signal detection. You've got to ask - where would I like to be able to break into the signal and control flow for future experimentation? How to achieve that so that non-professional programmers will be able to write useful stuff and bolt it all together without needing a doctorate in computer science? Whatever you choose, I'd say make sure the interfaces are there, and that they are no more complicated than required - to open up the development to the 'digitally challenged' group ( me for instance!)
