Is it just me or is this a recurring theme? Even last year with that dreaded thing called pBasic, the edu code was better than the FRC code (which was why i used it to run our bot lat year). Yes, I know this is off topic, so i'll add in my blurb about C

C, even if it is not the most common language, is essentially the granddaddy of all other modern languages. Look at Java or C++(duh) or C# (another duh) or J#, or php to a degree. All of them are structured like C and have very similar, if not identical syntax and basic functions (i.e. ++ << >> etc). If I had to narrow it down to one reason i would keep C over pBasic, it is the following:

X=X+1 becomes X++;
