Autonomous runs, then I grab the joystick for teleop only to find my drive controls accelerated and inverted. Not from a syntax error, but a missing "-" and an extra "0" in the perfectly-valid python code. However, because I was using python, it only took about 30 seconds (mid-match) for me to ssh into the robot, modify the offending file, and re-load the code in order for us to continue practicing.

I can relate to you, re-compiling and deploying your robot code seconds before a match is really stressful, especially with LabVIEW running on a low-end computer
That was one of the primary reasons why I switched our team from LabVIEW to C++ (it compiles much faster than LabVIEW, and our programming team is more familiar with it) and (testing) Python.
