Re: C# and .NET for FRC on RoboRIO
 

Excellent. I look forward to trying C++11 on the robot.

I think this should be really nice. I think that the uniform initialization and auto are especially helpful to beginners. And I was surprised how easy it was to teach lambdas.

Last year, we used a mixture of C++98 and C++11. We had lots of tests that used C++11 features and we just made sure that they were all seperated from the main code by a bunch of #ifdefs.

Wouldn't it require processor architecture emulation to just run the program? That seems just too taxing for the 667MHz Dual Core processor!

Re: C# and .NET for FRC on RoboRIO
 

Which part would require emulation?

Isn't C# upon .net built to run on x86/64/amd64?

Re: C# and .NET for FRC on RoboRIO
 

The Microsoft .Net runtime only runs on x86/64 and amd64 and ARM on windows only. The Mono .Net runtime supports ARM processors running Linux. No emulator is needed.

OK. Thanks for elaborating!

One advantage of a community project for C# (or any other language) is it gets more eyes looking at WPILib. The python people submitted numerous patches and bug reports.

Re: C# and .NET for FRC on RoboRIO
 

This is a really good point. The WPILib development team isn't massive and can't always get around to rigorously testing and reviewing everything before it's time to release the code. Your bug reports are very helpful too.

It would be nice, if possible, to get people to start looking at the new WPILib before the release in December.
