There are tons of threads out there on this, but I'll offer some quick points
  • There's a fair amount of support at regionals in all three official languages, but LabVIEW seems to take a majority
  • I'm not American, but I believe many American high school comp sci courses (specifically AP level) teach Java
  • Java and C++ have a fair amount of similar syntax
  • SmartDashboard can be extended with Java, default Dashboard can be extended with LabVIEW
