I am somewhat sad that it's NI though. I would have liked to see a control system that is more non-labview friendly, and I would have liked to see what IFI (and other companies) would have come up with. Maybe it's still something that they will launch in the future as hobbyist tools...
I am unsure why you would want to exclude a language that nearly half the first teams use. How do you know that IFI didn't submit a proposal?
