The biggest difference is real-time execution (C++ is fast -- but is it "live" like LabView? -- I don't know). LabView by nature is slower, but it is able to process multiple things at once -- a tradeoff?

Anyway, We're using C++. We have a opensource Github, but latest code's not pushed yet. Perhaps I'm wrong about it, but I think your mentor's off the mark when he says "messy libraries". And also, are you the only programmer? How many others are there? What's your guy's consensus on a language preference? A mentor shouldn't force the students in to anything. (Except maybe administrative functions?)

That's just how my team rolls...

Yea I code in Java and C++, I been using C++ longer and I like it way better than Java, well the mentor said I CAN use C++ but he highly recommends Java for the sake of the cleanness of the libraries and easier setup

edit: Im the only guy going for C++ LOL All the other programmers want Java since they don't know C++

Edit of Edit: Amen to your sig
