When I saw this thread I thought "Over/Under 5 posts before some throws out this particular flame" Looks like it a push and I was right on. This argument is getting old and predictable.

My team uses C++ because that is what works best for us. All 3 languages are coding. I suggest everyone try to learn all 3 of them. Trying to argue that any one language is better for programming FIRST robots is a meaningless pursuit, it is all based on personal opinion. They certainly have their own pros and cons (which are fine to discuss) but all are equally capable. Try to focus on what you would tell a rookie team trying to choose between the 3.
