Re: "Java, Sun SPOT and the FIRST Robotics Competition"

Remember that there will be a Java VM on the cRIO (the Squawk VM), so in theory any language that compiles down to JVM bytecode should run on the cRIO. Think JRuby (Ruby), Jython (Python), Scala, Clojure, Groovy, etc.

That said, Squawk implements Java ME, not Java SE, which could cause some problems, as some of those language implementations may be geared towards Java SE.
