We use C++ for plugins
You will need a C++ compilator like Dev-C++ or Visual C++. I advise you to get Visual Studio if you can because it's easier.

As DJCel said, C++ is the language you need. If you intend to do visual plugins, then you will also need to use DirectX under windows, and OpenGL under Mac.
I've not used it, but I suspect this would fit your needs under Windows - and it's free: http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/
