What's done is done, I guess. I suppose I'm more not psyched to be debugging build path errors than anything. (Though, in theory, and not reality, those shouldn't happen.)
I think it is probably a good change given that we've seen it take quite a while to get new features into WPILib from when a manufacturer introduces them. As a LabVIEW beta team, it always seem to take a while before we could be using the latest features.

That being said, I'm worried a bit that some vendors are going to prefer developing in one language over another and therefore some teams aren't going to get access to the latest code/firmware/features because of it. I hope this doesn't happen but it is a possibility with moving the development and maintenance to 3rd parties.
