Re: 2015 Programming Languages?

All three languages will be fully supported. The beta forums shouldn't really cause concern. They highlight just how many details have to be managed in order for a language to run on a controller. Java is undergoing the largest amount of change, but it will get there.

As for picking a language, all three languages have something unique to offer. What is most important is that your team learns how to use whatever language you choose to best measure and control the mechanisms on your robot. WPILib was written for all three languages in order to give them common ground. The language syntax and some structure will differ, but hopefully this allows teams to experiment, help each other, and learn something about each of the languages.
