Re: C# and .NET for FRC on RoboRIO

I believe that the tools will support and default to using C++ v11.

My comment about safety was that the language is still persnickety. Raw pointers, careless array usage, and casting can still corrupt memory, but it can no longer corrupt other process or driver memory, only your own. Also, since the other elements of the OS are more protected, the reboot can be simplified to a SW restart of your process instead of a reboot of the entire OS.

As mentioned earlier, it is already pretty straightforward to use C# for the dashboard. Perhaps someone will succeed in getting it to work on the robots as well, but it is not an official project at this point.
