I agree. I actually vastly prefer C++ over Java in most circumstances. The tidbit with FRC is that you're rarely dealing with just skilled practitioners. The flexibility to use robot code written by a novice without worrying that a syntax error will cause a heap corruption that you'll spend 2 hours debugging is pretty significant in my experience.
