Re: [FRC Blog] Control System Update

I'm a fan of the separation of device libraries. For specifically large libraries (like the CAN motor controllers), the omission of these from the 'standard library' should result in smaller binary sizes and (at least on Java, not sure about C++ just yet), less RAM usage.

For the 'plugin system', I hope that this support comes in the form of compile-time library additions. For C++, I'm hopeful that library providers will include either the source, or both a shared and static version of their native library. For java the plugin system should be fairly trivial assuming JNI is done fine.

I'll try and contact some beta-test teams and keep an eye on the WPI repo to try and get OpenRIO's existing and new libraries up and running for the 2017 season, as unfortunately I don't have access to beta-testing stuff directly.
