Interesting... according to the cRIO description, you can use C/C++ code on the real-time processor, in addition to LabView. The more I read about this, the more sense it seems to make to me. I think this system could allow us to do a lot of interesting new things with I/O, as well as provide a really simple graphical programming interface for new programmers, while still allowing teams to continue learning and using C.
