My question is: will we be able to write/compile code in C++? I thought that this was the case.
Some of the cutting edge C++ stuff may be a bit rough, but the LabVIEW code base contains plenty of C++, and it runs there. As usual, bringing in arbitrary C++ code can run into rough spots when deciding whose STL implementation to use, or doing lots static initializer stuff, etc. But the short answer is, that it is a C and C++ platform via Wind River tools, and a LabVIEW platform via NI tools.
