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

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,

Its probably just my opinion (and the fact our programmer was really inexperienced), but C is REALLY hard to read, compared to Java (and I would assume labview as well).
