And "C/C++" gets 1624 hits over this way...
Lets get serious guys, if we want to teach programming in our FIRST activities
a high performance a C environment on a more powerful processor (with a nice
debugger hookup) is the answer. The "higher level" environments are great for
teams without good programming mentors, as noted by posters in this thread.
If FIRST decides, for whatever reason it might, that we should be teaching LabVIEW
(LabVIEW is heavily used and taught for lab use where I work), then one is going
to have to round up a large number of new LabVIEW mentors (not programming
mentors) to do that. This [potential?] decision is neither good, nor bad, it only has
consequences...
