What are you programming in?
 

I just wanted to know what everyone is actually programming in so we can get a good idea on which language is more used..

Re: What are you programming in?
 

Java.

Re: What are you programming in?
 

C++

Re: What are you programming in?
 

C++

For "Other", there is Python, and LUA. Not sure if they are still being updated.

Re: What are you programming in?
 

LabVIEW all the way.....

Re: What are you programming in?
 

Why does everyone like LabView??
We use C++ and it works great, what's the difference???

Re: What are you programming in?
 

Labview is graphical and C++ is text based. Java is also popular because most of the kids learn Java in school because the AP test is in Java.

LabView is a graphical programming language, C++ is text based. LabView tends to be easier for people with less experience to pick up. That said I'm using Java. Java and C++ are quite similar, however C++ is lower level, and a bit more difficult for new programmers.

Having programmed in a multitude of languages (including LabVIEW, C, Matlab, Simulink, and Perl) I could use either C++ or LabVIEW to accomplish the task with about the same amount of effort on my end. I've always thought that C++ and Java are the same for what we are doing (all of the higher-level features of Java don't help us), so it's personal preference between the two.

That said, LabVIEW provides a much nicer debugging interface, and the real-time front panel is just awesome. It's super easy to change stuff and look at graphs and data without doing anything in code.

C++ and Java are both textual, C++ is procedural or object oriented, Java is object oriented. LabVIEW is a data-flow language, so it represents code as the flow of data and operations happening to the data, which is quite easy to understand.

We are doing a build in 2 languages.

Python and LabVIEW. I have much experience with Python over the years and it looks like it could be interesting. Having a different point of view on programming issues will help get past them quicker. Doing two languages will help us code quicker and better.

Java

LabVIEW

Re: What are you programming in?
 

We simply use LabVIEW due to the ease of use, abundance of debugging tools, and the quick speed of development.

Being able to probe and trace values while the code is running really gives the students the ability to understand what their code is doing.

Re: What are you programming in?
 

Java. Simple and Object Oriented. Plus since most of our programmers have never programmed Java is a great starting point.
