From what I understand, the use of C++ and Java (and now Python) are all beta products that NI is currently testing. I don't believe any of these languages are officially supported, or were officially supported when the Compact RIO was released.
I might be wrong, but one of the LabVIEW developers at work was talking about how FIRST teams are spoiled and get to try new products before they're even released.
But I also totally agree. CAN was hardly even half baked at the beginning of the 2011 FRC Season.
