Possible to Create a Link Building Program in Php cURL?

Hey guys, I have been thinking about expanding my knowledge lately and thought about learning a bit of programming in my spare time, not in a hurry but may be helpful for the future.

So, I was wondering what the capabilities of php and curl are, would it be possible to create something like senuke x or similar with php, or would I be better off learning a programming language like c#?

I like the idea of having an senuke with a web interface for users to login, cross system compatible, etc., but not sure if php and curl have the power to do that.

Thanks for the help.
