Re: PROGRAMMERS: WIND RIVER C++ vs LABVIEW vs JAVA

Hello All,
I think I will be the lead programmer next year and want to decide on a good language to use. This year we used LabVIEW and I really liked how it worked and how easy it was to use. Another member in the club who does not program for the club is very fluent in Java but does not program for the club. I saw his code, and it was easy to read, but could not figure out how to write it. My Dad and this last years leads Dad both know C++ and if we decide to go with that they can teach Me and any other members that are interested in programming next year. There are a a few Mentors that want to use C++ and a few wanting to use LabVIEW. I can see where the mentors wanting to do C++ are coming from, but I personally would like to use LabVIEW and so would the 2 Senior Programmers that are moving on. Please reply with feedback on my LabVIEW vs. C++ dilemma.
Thank You,
