I strongly disagree when you say Python tutorials are more generalized and from a much wider audience. The number of C++ and Java tutorials is staggering. Python may be an easy language to learn on your own, but with less FRC tutorials for Python, one of the supported languages would be much simpler to apply to FRC.

Java and C++ are used in, to my belief at least, the majority of applications. Being used in so many different applications, it would shocking to say the least to say there are more generalized and wider audienced tutorials for Python.


To the OP: Learning how to use Python in the offseason would be a great idea! However, with Kickoff rapidly approaching, you would most likely be better off using one of the supported languages. You can compare it to building a swerve drive with no prior experience in the build season.
