Re: What software program/language is best for roboRio?
A lot of teams are starting to move to interpreted languages (Python, JavaScript, etc) because the new roboRIO has the processing power to handle them. Interpreted languages have numerous benefits, such as no deploy time and the ability to grab code from the roboRIO. If you have a mentor that is able to handle the nuance of doing such than I'd recommend it.

However, if you have no one able to handle an interpreted language than I'd stay with Java or LabView since you will be able to receive support from your friendly neighborhood CSA.
