Re: Seeking advice for rookie programming

Another thing to consider when selecting a language, sustainability. We have some good programmers, and they were thinking about switching from Java to C++. There were some robotics stuff that they wanted to try, that might require a faster processing loop than WPI-Lib. So we talked about it. Our high school teaches Java, so if they wanted to switch to another language, they had to be able to develop a program to teach future programmers C++. They then decide that they would stay in Java, since it fits with what the school teaches.

So TLDR, pick a language that's best for the club and can live one
