I haven't been following the beta forums very closely, but are the issues actually with how the Java or C executable run on the RoboRio? Or are they more related to learning or adapting to new things in the language or MPI? I would assume it was the later.

If you can, I would highly suggest switching to labview. C has less problems than Java, and can be useful for some lower-level stuff, but still has the same problem of being difficult to teach to new students.

Some would call this difficulty a positive. A lot of teams prioritize education over ease of teaching and we chose to use a written language in order to provide our students with the skills to adapt to various other written languages. Labview is great for robotics applications, but we have been scared away from it a bit, haha.
