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.
Labview has the capability of importing C libraries (Call Library Function Node) and C code (LabWindows). That would make it easier in some respects.
